dholbachgood morning07:42
ioanmi have to tell u guys something I was meaning to send a package to the ppa, but accidentally forgot the dput args and it uploaded it to upload.ubuntu.com07:45
ioanmwhat does that mean exactly?07:46
ioanmdoes it get sent to u?07:46
dholbachif you upload to .ubuntu.com it will go to the archive07:48
dholbachbut it will only be accepted it you are member of ~ubuntu-dev (and have upload rights for that particular package)07:49
ioanmdholbach, so can i join?07:49
dholbachhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers explains the process for joining the development team07:49
ioanmdholbach, can you sponsor my package, it's pretty useful07:51
dholbachcan you use https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess for that?07:52
dholbachit's an easier way to get the whole group of Ubuntu developers to take a look07:52
dholbachI was just trying to get a few other important things done07:52
ioanmdholbach, it's just a shell script for dpaste, so that users who prefer can use it without specifying args to pastebinit every time (those that don't like pastebin.com)07:54
ioanmoh first i gotta make improvements as a prospective dev07:55
dholbachif you should have any questions, just ask in here :)07:58
ioanmdholbach, yeah i noticed a bug in unity in ubuntu 14.04 and want to be assigned to fix it07:59
dholbachyou could ask the guys in #ubuntu-unity - I'm sure they'd be happy to get some help08:00
ioanmdholbach, you see in my recent apps list I see "image viewer" I open it, the icon disappears while the app is running from the recent list08:01
ioanmis this intended?08:02
dholbachI have no idae08:02
dholbachidea08:02
dholbachbest ask the folks in #ubuntu-unity08:02
ioanmdholbach, they say it's a feature08:05
dholbachas I said... I'm not an expert08:05
ioanmdholbach, my package was published to my ppa :) ioan@ioanpc:~$ dpaste cpp08:10
ioanm#include <iostream>08:10
ioanmusing namespace std;08:10
ioanmhttp://dpaste.com/0BPTEF308:10
dholbachgood work08:11
ioanmdholbach, i wrote it like i said so users who prefer dpaste don't bother with pastebinit08:11
ioanmit supports pipeing but i used this time stdin + Ctrl+D08:12
ioanmand also syntax specification (optional)08:12
ioanmdepends on curl08:12
=== ikonia_ is now known as ikonia
ioanmdholbach, a bit too easy, i mean last time i google tutorials, this time 0 google08:14
ioanm(on packaging)08:14
ioanmdholbach, glad i'm learning08:16
dholbach:)08:16
ioanmdholbach, need your help: bug wishlist: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cmd2/+bug/1539921 will u sponsor my packaged version?08:22
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1539921 in cmd2 (Ubuntu) "Sync cmd2 0.6.8-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)" [Wishlist,Confirmed]08:22
dholbachas I said earlier I'm really busy getting a few other things done, which is why I'd prefer if you could take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess08:24
ioanmbut which version python2/3?08:24
ioanmshould i sync08:24
dholbachit's a process where you indicate what needs sponsoring and it will turn up on the general list for sponsoring08:24
dholbachso that not only I can take a look at it, but others too08:24
dholbachwhich will give you the advantage of not being blocked on a single person08:24
dholbachit's the process everyone follows08:25
ioanmoh okay, but i assigned myself to the bug08:25
dholbachsure08:26
dholbachjust make sure 'ubuntu-sponsors' is subscribed and all the other relevant information is added08:26
ioanmdholbach, what exactly do I need to do ubuntu sync process only describes request not my steps08:29
dholbachif you want to overwrite the Ubuntu package with what's in Debian, you follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess08:30
ioanmdholbach, but that just request it's to other devs08:32
ioanmi want to complete a request made by someone else08:32
dholbachI'm afraid I don't understand08:32
ioanmdholbach, wait so i can't actually create the .changes and sign it and upload it for review?08:34
dholbachyou can upload a diff or link to your package in a PPA08:34
dholbachor propose a branch08:34
dholbachthere's quite a few ways08:34
ioanmdholbach, okay, i'll find something else08:35
dholbach?08:35
dholbachyou said you had uploaded it to your PPA already?08:36
dholbachor you can just attach the files to a bug report08:36
ioanmdholbach, oh no that was my personal deb file08:36
dholbachok08:36
ioanmdholbach, now that i'm done with it, i also want to help the user who req the sync08:36
dholbachall right08:36
=== ochosi_ is now known as ochosi
ioanmdholbach, found it! https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/cmd2.git08:40
ioanmdholbach, do I change unstable here to a ubuntu version like xenial (like on the PPA?)08:42
ioanmcmd2 (0.6.8-1) unstable; urgency=low08:42
dholbachhttp://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/fixing-a-bug.html#documenting-the-fix08:44
ioanmdholbach, so I do dch -i an enter synced package to ubuntu right?08:44
dholbachno08:45
dholbachsyncing means overwriting the current package08:45
dholbachso that the version number is the same08:45
ioanmdholbach, sorry i'm new08:45
dholbachhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cmd2/+bug/1539921 is fine as it is08:45
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1539921 in cmd2 (Ubuntu) "Sync cmd2 0.6.8-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)" [Wishlist,Confirmed]08:45
dholbachthere's no need to attach anything to it08:46
dholbachsomebody will have to go and check if the Ubuntu changes indeed can be dropped08:46
dholbachand then perform the sync08:46
ioanmdholbach, oh i understand, i need authorization08:46
dholbachwhen I said 'somebody' earlier, I meant 'soembody with upload rights'08:46
ioanmdholbach, sorry for bothering08:48
dholbachdon't worry08:48
ioanmdholbach, i'm new, i've only been using linux for 1 year as personal user and now i want to contribute08:48
dholbachthat's great08:48
ioanmdholbach, any suggestion on what bug i should try to fix (something related to packaging or C++), i can't seem to find one that i can handle08:49
dholbachbut maybe in the future just ask in the channel without pinging me personally about it, your questions can be answered by others as well :)08:49
ioanmsorry08:49
dholbachno worries :)08:49
dholbachhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/TODO lists a few things which might be interesting08:51
ioanmVisual Studio Code, a good package to start with08:54
ioanmis it okay if I package the precompiled binary offered by MS?09:05
dholbachno, I'm afraid not09:07
dholbachhttps://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines09:07
dholbach^ this is what we follow as well09:07
ioanmoh so i need my deb to be able to compile itself?09:11
dholbachyes09:14
ioanmbut vs code's got no makefile09:14
dholbachmaybe have a look at the guide on packaging.ubuntu.com - it explains quite a few details like that09:14
ioanmwhat do I do??09:14
ioanmdo I manually write vscode.install and a custom makefile?09:15
dholbachI don't know about Visual Studio Code09:15
dholbachbut I'm sure there's a standard way to get it to build09:15
ioanmyes09:15
ioanmgit clone https://github.com/microsoft/vscode09:16
ioanmcd vscode && npm install -g mocha gulp09:16
ioanm./scripts/npm.sh install --arch=x6409:16
dholbachmaybe have a look at other node packages and see how they work09:16
dholbachI'm afraid I don't know and currently have no time to look into it09:16
ioanmdholbach, ofc thx09:17
ioanmdholbach, so it says i should use npm install nodeb09:18
ioanmi'll pick something easier09:19
ioanmdholbach, thank you for all your help and suggestions09:23
ioanmsorry if I bothered u09:23
dholbachno worries09:39
