[17:56] <ricotz> mamarley, I am currently pushing 304.128
[17:57] <mamarley> ricotz: Where did you find out about that?  I normally check the Linux part of the devtalk.nvidia.com forum and I haven't seen anything there.
[17:58] <mamarley> Maybe they don't post legacy drivers there?
[17:59] <ricotz> mamarley, I guess aaron didn't noticed yet
[18:00] <ricotz> the ftp server lists ist
[18:00] <ricotz> ist/it
[18:00] <mamarley> Ah, OK.  I will start checking that daily as well.
[18:01] <mamarley> Or maybe I will be an overachiever and write a script that checks it automatically...
[18:01] <ricotz> 355.11 ;)
[18:01] <mamarley> Argh!
[18:01] <mamarley> Maybe I should handle this one?  I don't want you to have to do all the work...
[18:02] <ricotz> please do
[18:02] <mamarley> OK
[18:04] <ricotz> mamarley, please use the ppa packaging for now
[18:05] <mamarley> Yep, that is what I am doing.
[18:05] <ricotz> not the git one
[18:05] <ricotz> ok
[18:05] <ricotz> vivid/wily are the same, trusty has a different substvars
[18:06] <ricotz> feel free to upload it is somewhere else for review if you are unsure
[18:06] <ricotz> bbö
[18:06] <ricotz> bbl
[18:06] <mamarley> OK
[18:12] <mamarley> ricotz: Is nvidia-settings any different across the distro versions?
[18:12] <ricotz> no
[18:12] <mamarley> Thanks, that's what I thought.
[18:28] <mamarley> ricotz: I uploaded nvidia-settings to https://launchpad.net/~mamarley/+archive/ubuntu/staging/+packages.  Vivid and Trusty are failing but that is just because I forgot to put the libvdpau update in there as well.
[18:39] <ricotz> mamarley, ok, no, use a common orig-tarball
[18:39] <mamarley> That's what I was trying to do.  I used "debuild -S".
[18:40] <ricotz> try harder then ;)
[18:40] <ricotz> "dpkg-buildpackage -S -sa" and "dpkg-buildpackage -S -sd"
[18:41] <mamarley> OK, I will do that.  Just a sec...
[18:41] <ricotz> you used "uupdate"?
[18:41] <mamarley> I'm not sure what that means.
[18:41] <ricotz> man uupdate
[18:45] <ricotz> mamarley, want me to upload nvidia-settings?
[18:46] <mamarley> No, I want to figure out how to do it correctly.
[18:47] <mamarley> Dangit, even when I use debuild -S -sd it still uploads the orig tarball.
[18:49] <mamarley> I will try again from scratch.
[18:56] <ricotz> mamarley, any luck?
[18:56] <mamarley> ricotz: Uh, maybe.  Just a minute.
[18:58] <mamarley> Here goes nothing.
[18:59] <mamarley> ricotz: I think it worked that time!
[19:00] <mamarley> Yep, all the uploads were accepted even though only the first had the orig.tar.bz2.
[19:01] <mamarley> Now for the driver itself.
[19:03] <ricotz> mamarley, btw you don't need to upload things to check if a source package as wanted
[19:03] <ricotz> mamarley, ok
[19:03] <ricotz> please create new ones for the gpu ppa
[19:04] <ricotz> mamarley, I have the driver ready for upload
[19:04] <mamarley> ricotz: Do you want any more changes other than just the version number?
[19:05] <mamarley> If you have the driver ready, don't wait for me.  I can practice on my staging PPA so next time I won't need any help.
[19:06] <ricotz> mamarley, should I upload everything then?
[19:06] <mamarley> ricotz: Sure, but can you please check my driver upload to my staging PPA once I get that done?
[19:07] <ricotz> mamarley, feel free to ask though, but in my experience it sometimes helps to figure out things yourself
[19:08] <ricotz> mamarley, ok
[19:10] <mamarley> ricotz: I did figure it out myself before, but as you can see, I figured it out all wrong. :/
[19:11] <ricotz> mamarley, the fundamental problem with nvidia-settings it isnt debsrc-3.0 and only supported *.tar.gz tarballs therefore the original tar.bz2 gets repacked
[19:11] <mamarley> Ah, OK.
[19:12] <mamarley> I didn't realize that before, so I downloaded the .tar.bz2 files because they are smaller.
[19:13] <ricotz> there are *only* official bz2 versions
[19:13]  * mamarley beats himself with the clue-by-four.
[19:16] <mamarley> ricotz: I know I appear as a complete n00b right now, but I promise you I can be helpful.
[19:17] <ricotz> mamarley, don't worry
[19:17] <mamarley> I just need to get accustomed to the correct way of doing things after doing it wrong for so long.
[19:18] <ricotz> mamarley, you are familiar with the dkms patching stuff in the driver packagign though?
[19:19] <mamarley> Yes, I have added patches to fix compiling against new kernels a few times.
[19:19] <ricotz> ok
[19:28] <mamarley> I am uploading my practice driver now, but it takes a long time because I have a ridiculously slow Internet connection right now.
[19:34] <ricotz> mamarley, same here ;)
[19:49] <mamarley> ricotz: Woohoo, it looks like all of my driver builds were successful in https://launchpad.net/~mamarley/+archive/ubuntu/staging/+packages !
