[07:06] <lukesoft> Hi Guys, Really trying to get going with contributing to ubuntu......but iam getting some bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/ubuntu/tomboy/".
[07:06] <lukesoft> can you pliz point me in the right direction, i believe i set up my dev env correcly
[08:46] <Rhonda> Hmm.  If I update the trusty-backports package of wesnoth-1.12 with a version from xenial, I will have to also propose a backport for vivid and wily, right?
[09:24] <lukemadzedze> guys which languages are used mostly if i want to contribute to ubuntu-motu
[09:24] <lukemadzedze> programming languages
[09:32] <Laney> lukemadzedze: any, it depends on what the program is written in
[09:34] <lukemadzedze> Laney: thank you very much
[14:48] <lukesoft> guys is there a way to find out which language a package is developed in, before i start trying to fixing its bug...or even downloading the sorces
[21:41] <lukesoft> is there a way of know the language used in a package, before downloading the sources....i want to try out fixing a bug or 2 but only if its a java application...but i dont seem to see any other way to know its a java programm before downloading the sources
[21:50] <rbasak> lukesoft: if you have deb-src lines in sources.list, use apt-cache showsrc and examine its build dependencies, maybe?
[21:50] <rbasak> You will need to understand how those map to languages, and a C compiler won't be explicit in there as it's build-essential.
[21:50] <rbasak> (maybe C++ too, I'm not sure)
[21:51] <rbasak> lukesoft: it's hard to categories because source packages could use multiple languages. Most distro engineers handle many languages, so there's there's never been a need to classify them.
[21:57] <lukesoft> rbasak: Thanks a lot ey, i am a java developer with very limmited understanding of c++ and c, iam really desperate to start working on my first bug or 2, so naturally i would love to work on a java project for practice .......but i cant find any package written in java, to use for practice, and iam getting a bit demotivated as all the other languages a really looking like greek to me
[21:58] <lukesoft>  all the other languages *are really looking like greek to me
[21:58] <lukesoft> :(
[21:59] <rbasak> lukesoft: Ubuntu has a ton of Java work that needs doing, but unfortunately it may be too much in the deep end for you right now.
[22:00] <rbasak> lukesoft: I don't know much about the Java side of things, but you might be able to use "reverse-depends -b" to find things that require some named java package to build. That would maybe give you a helpful list.
[22:00] <rbasak> lukesoft: perhaps look at bugs against tomcat7 and tomcat8?
[22:02] <lukesoft> rbasak:Thanks a lot, let me try that for now, if i fail, i can always try my level best with everything else........after all i mainly want to do this to learn :)
