[06:29] <vadi> For many months on end my Ubuntu users aren't able to upgrade to the latest version of the software because we're using a Qt version newer than it is available in the repos, and I can't figure out how to make that work. Is there anything I can do to update my software in the PPA?
[06:34] <acheronuk> what software, for what release. and which Qt versions?
[06:38] <vadi> We need Qt 5.6 at minimum, Mudlet, and we publish for Trusty Zesty Xenial and Yakkety
[06:39] <vadi> I've attempted to make use of the beineri/opt-qt562-trusty but that only works in Travis, not in Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~mudlet-makers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages because it needs to set environment variables
[06:40] <acheronuk> Trusty does not have Qt 5.6 anywhere is a usable state AFAIK
[06:43] <acheronuk> I have Qt 5.6 for Xenial in: ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
[06:55] <vadi> and how do you make use of it?
[06:57] <acheronuk> (a) add the PPA as a dependency on yours (b) or copy the Qt packages to your PPA
[06:58] <acheronuk> (a) would not be very sensible, as it seems your packages have runtime depends on the Qt version they build against, so your users would also habe to add taht PPA to their systems to get the increased Qt
[06:59] <vadi> Thanks
[06:59] <acheronuk> (b) makes sense in theory, but by providing increased Qt you may break other things in the ubuntu archive for your users
[07:00] <acheronuk> i.e. packages that have a hard dependency against the Qt ABI they were compiled on. Xenial by default has ABI 5-5-5
[07:02] <vadi> Well, I'll give it a go, and if it breaks things the users can then choose what they want to run.
[07:02] <acheronuk> vadi: https://yofel.net/kubuntu/backport-report/ben/html/qtbase-abi-5.6.html
[07:03] <acheronuk> that is a list of what we had to rebuild ourselves (mostly) in our backports ppa for Qt 5.6
[07:05] <acheronuk> fair enough.
[08:19] <GatheuX> hi
[08:20] <GatheuX> how long time build packages publish on own ppa?
[08:23] <tsimonq2> GatheuX: A couple minutes, usually.
[08:26] <GatheuX> this first packages
[08:27] <tsimonq2> Sorry?
[08:27] <acheronuk> GatheuX: On Sunday mornings, the Launchpad publisher does scheduled maintenance. Until finished, builds will not publish in PPAs. Usually finished about noon UK time, give or take a bit
[08:27] <tsimonq2> That too.
[08:28] <GatheuX> ok thank's ahasenack tsimonq2
[12:11] <GatheuX> i have a question
[12:11] <GatheuX> why packages not show in list own ppa?
[12:11] <GatheuX> i have upload 6 packages, but only show 4 packages
[12:14] <GatheuX> i will try uplaod again, the messages: Package has already been uploaded to my-ppa on ppa.launchpad.net
[12:26] <cjwatson> GatheuX: What's your Launchpad username so that I can check log files?
[12:26] <cjwatson> GatheuX: (The message you just quoted is entirely local and can be overridden with "dput -f", but we should check first whether there was some kind of permanent problem with the upload.)
[12:27] <GatheuX> cjwatson: this my username: dotovr
[12:27] <GatheuX> thank's cjwatson
[12:28] <cjwatson> GatheuX: Our system sent a rejection email to you.  Please check junk mail folders and the like
[12:29] <cjwatson> Looks like you wrote "Section: optional" which isn't a valid section name
[12:29] <GatheuX> cjwatson: oke, i see in spam folder
[12:29] <GatheuX> thank's again
[12:29] <GatheuX> i will fix that
