| Cerealkiller | hello,i need some help | 16:39 |
| Cerealkiller | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11849659/ | 16:40 |
| Cerealkiller | i get some warnings on running apt-get update | 16:40 |
| teward | Cerealkiller: usually that's an indicator those PPAs don't support that release | 16:40 |
| cjwatson | Cerealkiller: You'll need to contact the owners of those PPAs. | 16:40 |
| Cerealkiller | can't i just remove them? | 16:40 |
| cjwatson | Launchpad just provides the hosting, not the content. | 16:40 |
| cjwatson | Or that, if you prefer. | 16:40 |
| Cerealkiller | especially the last two of them | 16:40 |
| Cerealkiller | i meant the last of them* | 16:41 |
| teward | Cerealkiller: you can, yes. http://askubuntu.com/questions/307/how-can-ppas-be-removed | 16:41 |
| Cerealkiller | teward, thank you ! :) | 16:41 |
| teward | Cerealkiller: you should remove the two PPAs that're triggering 404s, and/or contact the PPA maintainers | 16:41 |
| Cerealkiller | may i ask how can i get the ppa from a link? | 16:50 |
| Cerealkiller | or how can i get a ppa if it gives me an error,so i can uninstall it? | 16:50 |
| dobey | http://ppa.launchpad.net/jconti/recent-notifications/ubuntu/dists/vivid/main/binary-i386/Packages | 16:51 |
| dobey | that would be ppa:jconti/recent-notifications | 16:52 |
| Cerealkiller | thank you,i get it now | 16:52 |
| tytel | wgrant: thanks for the help the other day! I'm pretty sure that worked. | 17:57 |
| tytel | Well hopefully it did because I released the beta yesterday: http://tytel.org/helm | 17:58 |
| tytel | I do have some people downloading the package from launchpad and running into a dependency issue | 17:59 |
| tytel | helm depends on libstdc++6 (>= 4.9); however: Version of libstdc++6:amd64 on system is 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04. | 17:59 |
| tytel | does anyone know if there's a way to depend on an older version of libstdc++6? | 18:00 |
| dobey | fix your code to compile against the older version? | 18:04 |
| dobey | and fix the deps in debian/control to reflect the correct thing | 18:04 |
| dobey | oh, it's an lv2? | 18:05 |
| dobey | ah, and you've only built it for vivid | 18:07 |
| dobey | tytel: so the problem is you only have one build for one version of ubuntu, and you try to use that to support all versions of linux systems, it seems | 18:11 |
| tytel | dobey: yea, this is my first real linux packaging. i'm doing bad things huh | 18:12 |
| dobey | well, you can't support all supported versions of ubuntu with a single build that was built on the latest version. you will end up with issues like the one you just described :) | 18:14 |
| tytel | dobey: how do people normally package something so it works on all linux distros? | 18:14 |
| tytel | dobey: i thought that might be the case. i guess i was in denial | 18:14 |
| dobey | tytel: there is basically no way to provide a single binary package that works everywhere | 18:14 |
| tytel | dobey: :( | 18:14 |
| dobey | tytel: on the other hand, i've got a ppa where i've set up automated builds of various audio tools on linux, so i'll be adding helm builds to that ppa as well. :) | 18:18 |
| tytel | dobey: awesome! :D | 18:18 |
| tytel | dobey: so if i build versions for a bunch of ubuntu versions, i still have to go build it for other distros as well? | 18:18 |
| tytel | dobey: how do people normally manage that? sounds complicated | 18:19 |
| dobey | yeah. you can't build it on ubuntu and expect it to work on fedora, suse, etc… | 18:20 |
| tytel | sorry if these questions are really uninformed.. | 18:20 |
| dobey | most people don't deal with it. they just build for whatever they use | 18:20 |
| dobey | and ignore the rest | 18:20 |
| dobey | or they just build a statically linked binary and just distribute a tarball, or something similar | 18:21 |
| dobey | or like steam for example, ship their own versions of all the dynamic libs they need, installed in a special location. | 18:21 |
| tytel | dobey: woah, didn't know that about steam | 18:25 |
| cjwatson | Or they build for something really old and have conservative library dependencies that don't break backward-compatibility a whole lot | 18:25 |
| cjwatson | Building on old and running on new has a better track record than vice versa | 18:26 |
| dobey | yeah | 18:27 |
| dobey | "target the oldest supported version of whatever you wish to support" is generally the option that gives you the greatest level of support on that target platform | 18:28 |
| tytel | dobey cjwatson: thanks for the input :) | 18:39 |
| pepee | how come comments in the system don't have anchor tags? | 20:47 |
| dobey | in which system? | 20:52 |
| pepee | launchpad | 20:52 |
| dobey | bugs? merge proposals? | 20:53 |
| pepee | I haven't found a way of showing a comment in its context | 20:53 |
| dobey | they have direct links | 20:53 |
| dobey | it's just the way it was made i guess. i don't know if there is a bug open about it though | 20:53 |
| pepee | guess I'll ask in -dev | 20:54 |
