[10:00] <acagastya> Hello, can anyone help me? I can't obtain fingerprint for OpenPGP.
[10:02] <cjwatson> Can you be more specific about what you're trying to do and what you've tried so far?
[10:08] <acagastya> I need to sign the Ubuntu Code of Conduct on Launchpad.
[10:09] <acagastya> I am struck at the first step, where we are supposed to Change OpenPGP keys.
[10:09] <Mc> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct ?
[10:09] <Mc> ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto#Signing_Data more precisely )
[10:11] <cjwatson> Exactly which sequence of steps are you following at the moment?  Presumably you're going from a web page somewhere.
[10:11] <acagastya> I can't get the fingerprint (https://launchpad.net/%7Eacagastya/+editpgpkeys).
[10:12] <acagastya> I use Elementary OS, so I can't retrieve the key in the key from System > Preferences > Passwords and Encryption Keys.
[10:12] <cjwatson> What have you done so far?  Have you generated a key, for instance?
[10:13] <acagastya> You mean the fingerprint, no.
[10:13] <cjwatson> I mean what I said.
[10:13] <Mc> have you generated the keypair itself ?
[10:14] <acagastya> No, I don't know how to.

[16:43] <om26er> Hi! my debian/rules have a `export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS='<something>' entry, when I upload that package to my ppa, apparently that var is not being read. is launchpad eating that variable ?
[16:44] <cjwatson> Launchpad doesn't control anything at a level that could eat that.
[16:45] <cjwatson> However, you're probably doing it wrong anyway.  DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS is supposed to be something that debian/rules may check, but not something that it should set itself.
[16:46] <cjwatson> Anything you could do by setting DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS you should probably just be doing more directly.
[16:48] <om26er> cjwatson: there are multiple ifeq blocks that are controlled by DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS - -doing something around that is doable but could break if upstream changes anything.
[16:48] <om26er> so if we can't export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS from within rules file, then I guess I have to go that way
[16:48] <cjwatson> You should still be able to; it's just wrong.
[16:49] <cjwatson> Can't you reproduce this in sbuild?
[16:49] <cjwatson> It should be no different for this purpose.
[16:51] <cjwatson> om26er: export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS:="$DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS nocheck testkeys" doesn't seem like correct make syntax
[16:51] <cjwatson> I think perhaps you're confusing make variable syntax with shell variable syntax
[16:52] <cjwatson> So the variable isn't going to include testkeys as a separate word, because it'll actually have the " at the end
[16:52] <om26er> cjwatson: I also tried without appending i.e export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nocheck testkeys"
[16:52] <cjwatson> om26er: correct syntax would be: DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS += nocheck testkeys
[16:52] <om26er> oh
[16:52] <cjwatson> you can export if you like but it's not necessary
[16:53] <om26er> and that would be 6hours
[16:53] <cjwatson> (since it's only checked within this file)
[16:53] <cjwatson> A good strategy for debugging this kind of thing is to use make's $(warning) function
[16:59] <om26er> cjwatson: prepended by export ?
[17:00] <om26er> re: correct syntax
[17:02] <om26er> figured.
[17:02] <cjwatson> export> doesn't matter unless it's used outside this file
[17:02] <om26er> thanks cjwatson, seems its finally working.
[17:02] <cjwatson> or rather, in a child process
[20:04] <acagastya-afk> I am getting an error while uploading Ubuntu Code of Conduct.
[20:05] <wxl> acagastya-afk: which error is that?
