[00:19] "File dvsource-v4l2-other_0.1-1.debian.tar.xz already exists in PPA ..." Is there a way to replace it? all I am doing is trying to satisfy the build deps [00:20] and where did .debian come from? [00:36] CarlFK: The debian.tar.* file contains the debian/ directory of the package. [00:36] CarlFK: If you want to change a package, you must also change the version number in the changelog. [00:36] You can't upload 0.1-1, and then later upload a 0.1-1 that is different. [00:37] wgrant: ok. I'll keep bumping the -version [04:22] my package contains ./usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dvsource-v4l2-other.py but not the symlink .. which I expected to show up in my $path [04:23] https://launchpadlibrarian.net/216216218/buildlog_ubuntu-trusty-amd64.dvsource-v4l2-other_0.2-ubuntu1_BUILDING.txt.gz [04:49] CarlFK: Which symlink do you expect and why? [04:49] What happens when you build the package locally? [04:50] wgrant: lrwxrwxrwx 1 carl carl 22 Aug 30 03:03 dvsource-v4l2-other -> dvsource-v4l2-other.py [04:51] someone helped me package it and lead me to believe it would see the x bit and know to put it somewhere it could be x-ed ;) [04:51] when I build locally, I get a .deb but I didn't test to see what was in it [04:52] You should test this locally until you get what you need. [04:52] there may have been a misunderstanding about what the dh-python? helper was doing [04:52] how do I test it? [04:52] What do you mean? [04:53] You were able to detect that the package built on Launchpad was wrong. [04:53] Build it locally and perform the same detection. [04:53] The same issue will appear locally, which makes debugging a lot easier. [04:53] I have 2nd box I was testing on using apt-get [04:54] guessing you mean dpkg -i on my dev box? [04:54] Right, or the second box. [04:55] k - so how do I get that symlink put in /usr/bin (I guess that is where it should go?) and maybe the .py also? (I was surprised to hear it should go in site packages.) [04:55] I am surprised to hear that also. [04:55] I think my helper thought this was a python module I would be importing. [04:55] #ubuntu-packaging may be helpful. [08:37] cjwatson: cool. === JanC_ is now known as JanC [22:22] Is there a built in way in launchpad to get an email when a source package is uploaded to a PPA when you aren't a member of the managing team? [23:12] tgm4883: Not currently. [23:13] It wouldn't be totally implausible to have archive subscriptions or some such, but they don't exist today. [23:29] tgm4883: (https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/200643) [23:29] Ubuntu bug 200643 in Launchpad itself "PPA subscription/feed" [Low,Triaged]
