| Robe | is there an easy/automated way to trigger cross-release builds of already existing packages in ubuntu? | 16:29 |
|---|---|---|
| Robe | for example I would need an utopic version of libcurl3 built for trusty | 16:30 |
| dobey | the "copy packages" feature in launchpad? | 16:31 |
| Robe | not sure if I can copy arbitrary packages from universe/multiverse | 16:33 |
| cjwatson | You can. | 16:35 |
| cjwatson | It's possible from the web UI, but kind of hidden and awkward; but you can use copy-package from lp:ubuntu-archive-tools | 16:35 |
| cjwatson | (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+copy-packages, search for the package you want to copy, wade through list of PPAs you have upload access to ... personally I'd rather the command-line client any day) | 16:37 |
| cjwatson | Also backportpackage is a somewhat more specialised tool that may be more appropriate, especially if you want builds for more than one series | 16:37 |
| cjwatson | It's in the ubuntu-dev-tools package | 16:38 |
| Robe | backportpackage would allow me to simultaneously copy/build the package for multiple target releases? | 16:38 |
| cjwatson | It can deal with rebuilding the package with a different version | 16:38 |
| Robe | gotcha | 16:38 |
| cjwatson | Which you need if you're going to build it for more than one release | 16:38 |
| Robe | currently bitten by http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2015-03/0111.html which seems to be unadressed in trusty libcurl3 | 16:39 |
| bdmurray | cjwatson: is there a list of valid characters that would appear in a Launchpad username and PPA? | 16:40 |
| cjwatson | bdmurray: Both of those are valid_name, which is re.compile(r"^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9\+\.\-]+$") | 16:41 |
| bdmurray | cjwatson: got it, thanks! | 16:43 |
| Robe | cjwatson: thanks, awkward is a fitting description :D | 16:50 |
| cjwatson | +copy-packages is OK for copies between PPAs, but for copies from the primary archive it would really want a rather different design. Which is pretty much why that page isn't linked from anywhere. | 16:52 |
| Robe | hope I haven't broken anything | 16:52 |
| Robe | gah, google redirector broken again | 16:52 |
| cjwatson | Did you use backportpackage? | 16:53 |
| Robe | nah, +copy-packages | 16:53 |
| Robe | just to see if it works | 16:53 |
| cjwatson | Well, I hope you listened to my caveats :) | 16:53 |
| Robe | absolutely | 16:53 |
| Robe | launchpad.net down? | 16:53 |
| cjwatson | Works from here | 16:54 |
| Robe | hrm, cdn/proxy then | 16:54 |
| Robe | what's the way to go install the archive tools? | 16:55 |
| Robe | just clone the bzr repo? | 16:55 |
| Robe | +to | 16:55 |
| cjwatson | bzr branch lp:ubuntu-archive-tools | 16:58 |
| cjwatson | But like I say, I think you actually want backportpackage for this | 16:58 |
| cjwatson | Which is in "apt install ubuntu-dev-tools" | 16:59 |
| Robe | ok | 17:01 |
| Robe | can you tell me what caused https://launchpadlibrarian.net/210358718/buildlog_ubuntu-trusty-amd64.curl_7.37.1-1ubuntu3.4_BUILDING.txt.gz to fail? | 17:02 |
| Robe | seems like it wanted to pull in the librtmp-dev version it was built against in utopic | 17:02 |
| Robe | despite it being unversioned in the build dependencies | 17:02 |
| Robe | (debian/control) | 17:03 |
| dobey | that doesn't look unversioned to me | 17:05 |
| dobey | https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/utopic/curl/utopic-security/view/head:/debian/control | 17:06 |
| cjwatson | Yeah, that stuff is taken exclusively from debian/control | 17:06 |
| Robe | GAH | 17:07 |
| Robe | never mind, had the trusty changes.gz unpacked | 17:07 |
| Robe | sorry | 17:07 |
| cjwatson | (Well, actually from the .dsc, but that's built from debian/control) | 17:08 |
| Robe | does ubuntu-branches offer a code viewer for all packages of all releases? | 17:12 |
| cjwatson | Robe: Only when it works, which a lot of the time it doesn't. | 17:21 |
| Robe | cjwatson: haha, fair enough :) | 17:23 |
| Robe | thanks for your time | 17:23 |
| cjwatson | Ultimately the plan is to bring up a similar thing in git which is very likely to be more reliable, but that doesn't exist yet. | 17:25 |
| Robe | *nods* | 17:26 |
| Robe | with debian I usually click through from tracker.d.o to the respective vcs repo when there's a hint | 17:26 |
| Robe | was just wondering if there's something similar for ubuntu | 17:26 |
| chrisccoulson | Is there a known issue with launchpad? I tried to file a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/oxide/+filebug, and I've just got the "Uh oh! Something has gone wrong..." page | 17:45 |
| chrisccoulson | (browsing through bugs before this kept timing out too) | 17:45 |
| teward | popped up immediately for me... | 17:46 |
| chrisccoulson | It seems intermittent for me. I've just tried to resubmit my bug, and it worked | 17:46 |
| bdmurray | I'm getting a 503 error with bazaar.launchpad.net | 18:24 |
| cjwatson | Robe: Yeah, I'd very much like to have that more consistently, but we're a ways off (ironically) | 18:34 |
| cjwatson | chrisccoulson,bdmurray: I believe there've been some intra-DC networking problems ... | 18:34 |
| cjwatson | Prevailing theory seems to be that it's fallout from initial sync of a new cdimage.u.c frontend | 18:35 |
| chrisccoulson | cjwatson, thanks | 18:39 |
