[15:11] <antodaniel> Hi
[15:11] <antodaniel> I am trying to create a package
[15:12] <antodaniel> while executing bzr builddeb -- -us -uc command, found below error
[15:12] <antodaniel> maintainer-script-lacks-debhelper-token debian/postinst
[15:12] <antodaniel> not error exactly, warning may be
[15:12] <antodaniel> W: easyvim: maintainer-script-lacks-debhelper-token debian/postinst
[15:13] <antodaniel> my postinst script places in debian dir
[15:13] <antodaniel> its a simple bash script
[15:14] <antodaniel> can anyone help me?
[15:15] <dobey> what are the contents of your postinst? (why are you providing a custom postinst at all?)
[15:16] <antodaniel> its a manual script just placing .vimrc to home directory
[15:16] <antodaniel> #!/bin/bash
[15:16] <antodaniel> cp -rfv /tmp/.vimrc $HOME
[15:17] <antodaniel> Actually my deb package contains Makefile, .vimrc
[15:18] <antodaniel> Makefile:
[15:18] <antodaniel> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/c55102aa739bc527cc12
[15:19] <antodaniel> I followed the commands as instructed in http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html
[15:20] <antodaniel> finally, ended getting warnging: W: easyvim: empty-binary-package
[15:21] <antodaniel> when i google'd i found out there needs to be .install in debian folder
[15:21] <dobey> you can't do that in postinst
[15:22] <antodaniel> anything wrong with the postinst contents ?
[15:22] <dobey> and installing '.vimrc' to /etc is also wrong
[15:22] <antodaniel> ok
[15:22] <antodaniel> can i do it in /etc
[15:22] <antodaniel> ?
[15:22] <dobey> yes, deb packages are installed as root. you should not try to modify home directories in postinst either
[15:22] <antodaniel> sorry /tmp?
[15:22] <dobey> no
[15:23] <dobey> is easyvim really just a .vimrc?
[15:23] <antodaniel> there is much more , i wanted to .vim folder in home directory
[15:24] <dobey> you can't do anything with user home directories in packages
[15:24] <antodaniel> i was testing this, if this works successfully, then i will go ahead and add .vim folder too
[15:24] <antodaniel> oh ok
[15:25] <dobey> you should probably see about fixing easyvim to work as a vim plug-in installed in /usr/share/vim/plugin or such
[15:26] <dobey> if you want to make a deb package of it
[15:29] <antodaniel> so i have to write vim script for this and place it in /usr/share/vim/addons/plugin
[15:29] <antodaniel> ?
[15:32] <dobey> 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] <dobey> overwriting peoples' existing .vimrc and .vim directories would be very bad though.
[15:33] <antodaniel> ok. make sense
[15:33] <dobey> anyway, it is sunday, so i have to go do other things
[15:33] <dobey> later
[15:33] <antodaniel> thanks for your feedback
[15:34] <antodaniel> I will write it as a plugin. that's a good idea
[15:47] <Populus1> 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] <pmatulis> can i perform this action on the CLI?  https://translations.launchpad.net/serverguide/trunk/+export
[21:50] <wgrant> pmatulis: That functionality is not exposed on the public API.
[21:50] <pmatulis> wgrant: alright thanks
