hallynarges: bug 1432644 - you had claimed that bug blocked qemu-kvm users from creating vms.  I don't see that.  i see a few (16) annoying messages in syslog but vms start just fine.03:06

sidihi, currently developing patches for nautilus's ubuntu package. i know how to add patches and rebuild a deb, but what i want now is to build a source tree with all the existing patches added, so i can test my code on top of this tree. How can I achieve that?19:23
sidisomewhat bzr bd -S seems to be what I want but I dont know where the source ends up. orig.tar.xz packages dont appear to contain local patches19:39
rbasaksidi: a Debian source package consists of a .dsc, .orig.tar.gz and (usually) .debian.tar.gz. The .debian.tar.gz contains the patches. Build the .dsc with sbuild, which will pick up the other two files automatically.19:41
rbasaksidi: eg. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SimpleSbuild19:42
nabukadnezar43are there minimal images of ubuntu daily?19:44
nabukadnezar43apperantly it's called core19:46
sidirbasak, say i already have my own working tree, with some patches i wrote and applied and know are valid. I can of course build the whole package with bzr bd and test it, but what i want is to extract the source code of this working tree, along with the already written trees, to manually hack and build it like i'd do with a tarball downloaded off the internet (so I can write the next patch)19:46
sidiit seems to me most tools only want an existing source package (either from apt-cache) or local19:46
sidiso i'd need to build a source package from my working tree to set up this "hacking" source directory?19:46
rbasaksidi: you can install all build dependencies locally if you want (or in a schroot). Then apply all patches with "quilt push -a" but you'll need to set up quilt first - https://wiki.debian.org/UsingQuilt19:47
Unit193nabukadnezar43: Like http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/vivid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso ?19:47
rbasaksidi: finally, run "debian/rules build" to build the tree. If the packaging is done well, then you can change the source and "debian/rules build" again19:47
sidirbasak i'm using quilt atm, i followed http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/patches-to-packages.html19:47
sidii'm not sure i got that bit.19:48
sidiwhat would be the benefit of using sbuild by the way, over just using quilt? I expect to have the non-amd64 packages built on the PPA, not to do it myself19:48
rbasaksbuild builds in a clean environment. Eg. without any additional packages apart from the build dependencies. So other stuff cannot influence the build.19:49
nabukadnezar43Unit193 thanks that's what i was looking for19:49
Unit193nabukadnezar43: Great!  I presume you can find the 32bit one if needed too.19:49
rbasak(also then you don't have to install all the build dependencies locally, so you don't clutter up your dev system itself)19:49
nabukadnezar43yes but amd64 is what i need19:50
infinityUnit193: FWIW, linking to http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/ is a lot less typing and much easier for people to remember more than 5 seconds after you tell them. :)19:50
* infinity notes that he needs to remove Saucy from that list, and does so.19:51
Unit193infinity: ...That, would help.  Yes.  Kind of wondered why it wasn't there at one point, turns out..19:51
Unit193Thanks.19:51
Unit193Well I'm a genius...19:52
elfy...19:52
sidirbasak i see. i dont think it's a very big deal though if i've only installed an ubuntu for that purpose? or will i reliably run into trouble if i dont use sbuild? (mainly trying to avoid some work here, i wont be needing this build system for more than 1 or 2 months...)19:53
maxbYou can probably do most experimental dev work just find without sbuild, but you will always face the possibility of undeclared build-deps or other detected quirks causing a different result on builders to your local testing19:55
rbasaksidi: yeah, what maxb said. So it depends on what sort of thing you're changing.19:55
rbasakIf you're messing with stuff that has little to do with the packaging, then you should be fine.19:55
