GrorcoHi guys, I'm not a professional by any means, but I love open source and know my way around python a bit. I'd like to try to help with debugging but not sure how to get started. Can anyone help me getting set up?01:51
blahdeblahGrorco: Hang around for a while; the main devs are in EU time zones at the moment, so it might take a while for them to respond.01:52
Grorcoblahdeblah, cool thanks :)01:54

arpalletHi All,16:27
arpalletI am trying to upload equivs-build to PPA. Is it possible ?16:27
arpalletI see there is a bug related to it, https://askubuntu.com/questions/784796/ppa-upload-of-custom-kernel-package16:27
arpalletIs it fixed ? Is there a support now to upload equivs-build16:27
cjwatsonarpallet: You can upload anything provided it's in the form of a source package.  We are never going to permit uploading binary packages directly16:42
cjwatson(also, askubuntu posts are not bugs)16:42
cjwatsonAnyway, there seems to be an answer there that you could use16:43
cjwatsonAh, though I guess equivs-build is really not very much like a kernel package16:43
arpalletcjwatson: Sorry i pasted a wrong link there, this is the bug i was talking about https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/equivs/+bug/137409016:44
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1374090 in equivs (Ubuntu) "Add source building (for upload to a PPA)" [Undecided,Invalid]16:44
cjwatsonarpallet: So, we're never going to allow you to upload the result of equivs-build directly, but you can just run debuild -S in the directory that it leaves behind16:44
arpalletequivs-build requires only control file, so i was having only control file for the package. Now as you said if i need to run debuild -S, there should be changelog and other required files. Is my understanding right ?16:47
cjwatsonequivs-build creates those and 16:49
cjwatsonAh, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to leave the result behind16:49
cjwatsonSorry, you'll have to either write an actual source package yourself, or hack equivs-build to not delete its build directory, or experiment with the suggested patch to equivs-build in that bug16:50
cjwatsonSince equivs-build is a single file, you could just copy it to your home directory and apply the patch locally16:50
arpalletThanks @cjwatson, i will try that16:51
