| aleksander0m | how long since I run a dput to upload a source.changes to a PPA until I see some indication in launchpad.net that it's going to build it? | 11:45 |
|---|---|---|
| aleksander0m | hey hey, btw | 11:45 |

| cjwatson | aleksander0m: minutes at most; but also see https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/UploadErrors#The_upload_appears_to_work_but_I_don.27t_get_any_email_about_it | 16:35 |
| aleksander0m | cjwatson, ok, so something went wrong because after some hours it's not there and also I didn't get any email back | 19:08 |
| aleksander0m | cjwatson, ah, there, I used the wrong key to sign | 19:17 |
| Jasper | So we have a package that we're trying to build from git master, but since git commit hashes are "random", we're seeing random upload fails because Debian is confused and doesn't understand version numbers. | 21:26 |
| Jasper | see e.g. https://code.launchpad.net/~endlessm/+archive/ubuntu/soma/+recipebuild/1147426 | 21:26 |
| Jasper | INFO Upload was rejected: | 21:26 |
| Jasper | INFO eos-shard_1.3-1~39d5065~ubuntu15.10.1.dsc: Version older than that in the archive. 1.3-1~39d5065~ubuntu15.10.1 <= 1.3-1~e8e22bd~ubuntu15.10.1 | 21:26 |
| Jasper | How can we fix this so that we have packages built from git? | 21:26 |
| maxb | "because Debian is confused and doesn't understand version numbers" is hardly a valid assessment | 21:40 |
| maxb | You might consider a version string incorporating `git describe`, which includes a numeric counter for just this sort of case | 21:42 |
| maxb | Oh, you're talking about recipe builds | 21:45 |
| maxb | https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/SourceBuilds/Recipes then | 21:45 |
| Jasper | Thanks, I'll look at it. | 21:49 |
| Jasper | It is confusing and sometimes frustrating when stuff like this comes up. | 21:50 |
| dobey | Jasper: git doesn't understand version numbers. commit hashes are not version numbers. | 23:03 |
| dobey | Jasper: use the bzr revno, or use a datestamp | 23:04 |
