[00:19] <CarlFK> "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] <CarlFK> and where did .debian come from?
[00:36] <wgrant> CarlFK: The debian.tar.* file contains the debian/ directory of the package.
[00:36] <wgrant> CarlFK: If you want to change a package, you must also change the version number in the changelog.
[00:36] <wgrant> You can't upload 0.1-1, and then later upload a 0.1-1 that is different.
[00:37] <CarlFK> wgrant: ok.  I'll keep bumping the -version
[04:22] <CarlFK> 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] <CarlFK> https://launchpadlibrarian.net/216216218/buildlog_ubuntu-trusty-amd64.dvsource-v4l2-other_0.2-ubuntu1_BUILDING.txt.gz
[04:49] <wgrant> CarlFK: Which symlink do you expect and why?
[04:49] <wgrant> What happens when you build the package locally?
[04:50] <CarlFK> wgrant: lrwxrwxrwx 1 carl carl    22 Aug 30 03:03 dvsource-v4l2-other -> dvsource-v4l2-other.py
[04:51] <CarlFK> 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] <CarlFK> when I build locally, I get a .deb but I didn't test to see what was in it
[04:52] <wgrant> You should test this locally until you get what you need.
[04:52] <CarlFK> there may have been a misunderstanding about what the dh-python? helper was doing
[04:52] <CarlFK> how do I test it?
[04:52] <wgrant> What do you mean?
[04:53] <wgrant> You were able to detect that the package built on Launchpad was wrong.
[04:53] <wgrant> Build it locally and perform the same detection.
[04:53] <wgrant> The same issue will appear locally, which makes debugging a lot easier.
[04:53] <CarlFK> I have  2nd box I was testing on using apt-get
[04:54] <CarlFK> guessing you mean dpkg -i on my dev box?
[04:54] <wgrant> Right, or the second box.
[04:55] <CarlFK> 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] <wgrant> I am surprised to hear that also.
[04:55] <CarlFK> I think my helper thought this was a python module I would be importing.
[04:55] <wgrant> #ubuntu-packaging may be helpful.
[08:37] <xnox> cjwatson: cool.
[22:22] <tgm4883> 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] <cjwatson> tgm4883: Not currently.
[23:13] <cjwatson> It wouldn't be totally implausible to have archive subscriptions or some such, but they don't exist today.
