[01:55] <karstensrage> i can run sbuild -d trusty but not -d bionic
[01:56] <karstensrage> the first succeeds and second fails quickly without building anything
[02:34] <wgrant> karstensrage: Do you have a bionic schroot?
[02:34] <wgrant> What's the error?
[02:52] <karstensrage> i doubt i have that
[07:25] <wsnipex> wgrant, thanks for the pointer. cleaning out the (autogenerated) changelog fixed my issue
[07:35] <wgrant> wsnipex: Great
[07:47] <wsnipex> maybe there should be a sanity check for this though ;)
[07:49] <wgrant> I think libapt-pkg chokes on single fields that large
[07:49] <wgrant> It's a bit strange
[07:50] <wgrant> Though not surprising; in no other situation would it run into a 1MB field
[09:18] <mop> hi all, LP homepage is broken, is it already known ?
[09:18] <mop> now is working again, tnx
[09:22] <cjwatson> Networking hiccup, apparently.  Being looked into
[12:52] <janisozaur> hi, how can I request an updated compiler on Launchpad? I'm trying to create a package for 16.04 but using g++ >= 7. I added toolchain-test-r PPA as a dep, on Debian's GCC7 wiki page I read control has to read: "g++ (>= 4:7)" and it _requests_ g++7, but fails to install it due to wanting to use g++5. Any help?
[12:54] <janisozaur> https://code.launchpad.net/~janisozaur/+archive/ubuntu/openrct2-armhf-test/+recipebuild/1951184
[13:00] <janisozaur> additionally: what does the "4:7" mean?
[14:00] <cjwatson> Nothing really to do with Launchpad; if you need to use a compiler that's not in the Ubuntu release you're building for, you need to provide it somehow
[14:00] <cjwatson> 4:7 is just a version, although a slightly unusual form (the 4 bit is an epoch)
[14:02] <cjwatson> Were you told by somebody that that toolchain test repository would work?  It contains test packages - I don't think there are any promises that it will work for user builds.
[14:03] <cjwatson> It doesn't build the gcc-defaults source package, which is where the g++ binary package is built from, so it wouldn't make a build-dependency on g++ (>= 4:7) satisfiable.
[14:04] <cjwatson> You'll need to either build gcc-defaults yourself, or build-depend on g++-7 and arrange for your build system to build with g++-7 rather than g++ (probably by setting CXX=g++-7, and possibly other things), or get an updated toolchain from somewhere else that makes the whole package available in a way that's intended for user builds (I don't know where).
[14:12] <janisozaur> ok, thanks
[14:16] <janisozaur> my goal was to somehow ease the effort required to obtain a raspbian-compatible build, i managed to progress this a bit (and I'm well aware raspbian is not exactly compatible)
