| teknopaul | wgrant: thanks, I added ssh and gpg keys and re-uploaded, this time I got an email. | 00:18 |
|---|---|---|
| teknopaul | I think I'm missing something here. I followed the uploading source tutorial to the end. The code is build with ./configure && make but I did not specify that anywhere? Also there is a script to create a .deb and that presumably needs to be specified somewhere? Is launchpad presuming I follow some set of build standards? | 00:26 |
| wgrant | teknopaul: Launchpad just uses debuild, which is the standard program that builds all Debian packages. That internally uses debian/rules to construct the package. http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/debian-dir-overview.html#the-rules-file may be of interest. | 00:28 |
| wgrant | debhelper handles many common build systems without any manual code in debian/rules, but if your build system is custom it may require some overrides. | 00:29 |
| teknopaul | wgrant: OK I'll take a look a this debbuild thing, any way to find out what tools are installed in launchpad? e.g standard stuff like gcc and bash? file | 00:47 |
| wgrant | teknopaul: You must list in Build-Depends anything that isn't installed by build-essential. | 00:55 |
| teknopaul | My first upload failed, it took a few tweaks to get debuild working, so I deleted the failed package but It will not let me upload the same version to try again? Do we have to increase the minor version for all build failures? | 01:27 |
| wgrant | teknopaul: You can't upload the same version twice. But you should generally be test building locally using eg. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SimpleSbuild, since that makes it much faster to iterate. | 01:30 |
| teknopaul | OK thats harsh, you can't tell if a version number will be valid until after PPA accepts it, that breaks my build pipeline, gonna need to rethink a few things. Thanks for you help. I'll be back :) | 01:39 |
| wgrant | teknopaul: Hmm, what's the issue with incrementing the package's version number? | 01:39 |
| wgrant | teknopaul: The version number of a package isn't just the version of the software; for software that exists outside Debian or Ubuntu, the package version is the upstream version plus a suffix starting with a hyphen. http://www.fifi.org/doc/debian-policy/policy.html/ch-versions.html describes the version syntax. | 01:43 |
| wgrant | Though for PPA packages you'll often start with eg. 1.2.3-0ppa1 rather than 1.2.3-1, to indicate it's not actually from Debian or Ubuntu. | 01:43 |
| wgrant | So if you need to upload a new version of the packaging, you end up with 1.2.3-0ppa2. | 01:43 |

| wxl | is there any way for me to get someone's signed CoC? | 22:33 |
| gsilvapt | Hello all. A friend is trying to update his Wiki page but he didn't accept the Wiki since 2014. All pages show as immutable. Any thoughts on how to fix this? | 22:53 |
| wxl | not an LP issue. the help pages say they need to be in wiki-editors or something of the sort | 22:56 |
| wxl | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpContents | 22:56 |
| wxl | wiki-editors-team | 22:56 |
| gsilvapt | Hum, I don't remember joining that. Thanks for helping, wxl and apologies for posting the question in the wrong place | 22:58 |
| gsilvapt | And in fact I never joined that team in LP | 22:58 |
| teknopaul | Hi all do I need completely different control files for packaging a binary and packaging source code for PPA? | 23:02 |
