=== chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk [21:23] I am trying to upload a package to a ppa, however I get a rejection email that says the following: " Could not find a PPA owned by 'ezzieyguywuf' for 'ubuntu' named 'OccWrapper'." [21:23] but I have a ppa named such, here: https://launchpad.net/~ezzieyguywuf/+archive/ubuntu/occwrapper [21:27] ezzieyguywuf: maybe all lowercase? so 'dput ppa:ezzieyguywuf/occwrapper ' [22:48] hloeung: I've tried this [22:48] hloeung: thank you for the suggestion though [22:48] ah, ok [22:48] whenever I tried all lower, it said it had already been uploaded [22:49] "Package has already been uploaded to ppa on ppa.launchpad.net" [22:49] right, so that's not the same as the error above [22:49] correct [22:49] I thin kyour versioning conflicts with that's already in Ubuntu [22:49] well, this "already uploaded" error is from dput [22:49] you'll need to 'dch -i' and bump the version or something [22:49] the earlier error is from launchpad, via email [22:49] hloeung: can you elaborate? I'm stil lpretty new to these tings [22:50] yes, but they're both different errors. One says PPA not found, the other is that PPA exists, just package version the same [22:50] hloeung: you're right [22:50] you can't upload to PPAs the same version of a package as in Ubuntu, unless you configure oyur PPA to not inherit Ubuntu base packages [22:50] https://launchpad.net/~ezzieyguywuf/+archive/ubuntu/occwrapper/+edit-dependencies [22:50] oh, looks like you can't even do that [22:50] hloeung: you know, I get that, however per the email, my original upload was rejected - so why would I need to bump the version to push a "new" one? [22:51] anyways, you'll need to bump your package version. Maybe google up 'dch -i' or similar [22:51] ... because the PPA inherits packages and versions from the base Ubuntu repo [22:52] if not, you and everyone with PPAs will have fun uploading bunch of dependencies [22:54] hm [22:54] I'm confused [22:54] but I'll try the version bump [23:01] hloeung: ooh. different error (via email from launchpad): " Unable to find occwrapper_0.1.4.orig.tar.gz in upload or distribution." [23:01] that's promising [23:06] ezzieyguywuf: ("Package has already been uploaded" is a local error; you can override it with dput -f) [23:06] ezzieyguywuf: For the "Unable to find" error, make sure you're building with debuild -S -sa rather than just debuild -S [23:07] wgrant: wah! that's a great tip [23:07] wgrant: found "-sa" online too, thanks for the tip [23:08] so now I'm on my version 3 due to not knowing the "-f" tip earlier. assuming this one goes through: is it possible to revert back to version 1? [23:08] or should I just leave it? [23:08] ezzieyguywuf: If none of them were accepted, you can remove those extra entries from the changelog. [23:08] It's only once the package is accepted that you can't reuse the version number [23:09] looks like version 3 was finally accepted [23:09] I'd like to rename it to version 1 though [23:09] It's too late for that, and doesn't matter. [23:09] fair enough [23:10] while I go you: am I to understand that if I set up my debian/watch file correctly, any new tags posted will automatically be transfered over to the ppa without me having to manually upload anything with dput? [23:11] No. [23:11] debian/watch is just used by the "uscan" tool. There's nothing automatic about it. [23:12] You may be able to use a source package recipe to have it happen automatically, though: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/SourceBuilds/Recipes [23:12] wgrant: ah. I'll take a look at these recipes thanks. First though I suppose I should fix whatever is causing the build in ppa to complete [23:12] thank you for your help! [23:20] np
