pboldin | hi there. I made an upload attempt to the https://launchpad.net/~pboldin/+archive/ubuntu/nm using the provided command and a `changes' file from updated package but still got no email confirmation | 12:00 |
---|---|---|
pboldin | can it be due to the different emails (in change log and signature) and email of the account? | 12:01 |
wgrant | pboldin: 2015-04-03 23:45:12 INFO Failed to parse changes file '/srv/launchpad.net/ppa-queue/incoming/upload-ftp-20150403-234423-070277/~pboldin/nm/network-manager-applet_0.9.8.8-0ubuntu4.3~fixed_source.changes': Signing key E894659ED041390502D7D9518516F309DB5965F9 not registered in launchpad. | 13:02 |
wgrant | I see that the key is registered now, but was it before? | 13:02 |
pboldin | wgrant: oh, i just registered it. can you please remove this submission | 13:02 |
wgrant | pboldin: It's been rejected. You just need to upload it again. | 13:02 |
wgrant | (you may need to use dput -f to override the local "already uploaded" check) | 13:03 |
pboldin | wgrant: thanks! | 13:03 |
pboldin | wgrant: now i'm getting 'signing key fingerprint does not exist' errors | 13:31 |
wgrant | pboldin: From where? | 13:31 |
pboldin | wgrant: from sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pboldin/nm | 13:31 |
wgrant | pboldin: It can take up to half an hour after the first upload for the key to be generated. | 13:31 |
pboldin | wgrant: oh, okay. so i just have to wait | 13:32 |
wgrant | pboldin: Yeah, just for your first PPA. | 13:32 |
CarlFK | I am trying to package https://github.com/timvideos/gst-switch so I can put a version in my PPA. I am trying to follow https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/first.en.html | 19:48 |
CarlFK | but I am stuck on $ wget http://example.org/gentoo-0.9.12.tar.gz cuz there is no tarbal. I could make one, but that seems odd. | 19:49 |
mapreri | CarlFK: it's normal business. when upstream does not release tarballs we just create one (just be sure to use --exclude-vcs to remove any git-related file) | 19:51 |
mapreri | some people use `git archive`, but I've never gone down that route | 19:51 |
CarlFK | mapreri: k. git archive... hmm.. I may as well look into that. thanks | 19:52 |
mapreri | CarlFK: also note that github create a .zip and a .tar.gz for every tag: https://github.com/timvideos/gst-switch/releases (but they might be too old to be considered) | 19:52 |
CarlFK | mapreri: neat. this thing doesn't work yet, so I doubt there are any of those | 19:55 |
mapreri | CarlFK: there is one, but give that it's in quickly development you really want to package from git. just create a tarball. I suggest you to use a versioning like 0.0.0+20150404.$commitid, though that might be too verbose for your needs and you can strip the $commitid part | 19:56 |
CarlFK | for now I am just trying to get something on my PPA so that I have something to update when it is working well enough to say "try it, I have it on my PPA" | 19:57 |
CarlFK | right now "try it, it's on github and really, the install is pretty easy, just read the README. I think. let me know if you have problems." and pretty much everyone has problems cuz we is sloppy | 19:58 |
CarlFK | mapreri: so I need both the source files in the dir and the tarball? (I was expecting dh_something to make the tar for me | 20:04 |
mapreri | dh controls the build process, not the tarball creation. | 20:05 |
mapreri | CarlFK: and yes, you need a tarball, "the source files in the dir" is just the tarball + the debian directory | 20:06 |
CarlFK | hmm.. this looks like it wants all the files: | 20:07 |
CarlFK | $ wget http://example.org/gentoo-0.9.12.tar.gz | 20:07 |
CarlFK | $ tar -xvzf gentoo-0.9.12.tar.gz | 20:07 |
CarlFK | from https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/first.en.html 2.8. Initial non-native Debian package | 20:08 |
mapreri | that's what I said | 20:08 |
mapreri | (maybe not that clear, I meant '"the source files in the dir" is just the [unpacked] tarball + the debian directory') | 20:08 |
CarlFK | ah, unpacked. | 20:09 |
mapreri | :) | 20:09 |
mapreri | CarlFK: and then maybe you should also take a look at git-buildpackage https://wiki.debian.org/PackagingWithGit#Upstream_import_methods (but then, personally I prefer to work importing tarballs in a debian-specific repository, i'm not confortable in cloning upstream's repo and adding a debian branch, but someone do that...) ← this is only a tool, you definitely want to follow what you are following before starting learning this tool, but then i | 20:13 |
mapreri | t may become your main weapon. | 20:13 |
CarlFK | neat. and thanks for the "definitely want to follow" advice. I always wonder where I should be starting | 20:15 |
mapreri | CarlFK: from my POV it's pointless learning to use a wrapper of a wrapper of a wrapper of a wrapper, when you know nothing of what lays in the bottom | 20:17 |
CarlFK | mostly agree. except I don't want to know how CPUs work ;) | 20:24 |
CarlFK | relocating. bb in 20 min. thanks for the help so far. | 20:25 |
