[21:23] <ezzieyguywuf> 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] <ezzieyguywuf> but I have a ppa named such, here: https://launchpad.net/~ezzieyguywuf/+archive/ubuntu/occwrapper
[21:27] <hloeung> ezzieyguywuf: maybe all lowercase? so 'dput ppa:ezzieyguywuf/occwrapper <your.changes>'
[22:48] <ezzieyguywuf> hloeung: I've tried this
[22:48] <ezzieyguywuf> hloeung: thank you for the suggestion though
[22:48] <hloeung> ah, ok
[22:48] <ezzieyguywuf> whenever I tried all lower, it said it had already been uploaded
[22:49] <ezzieyguywuf> "Package has already been uploaded to ppa on ppa.launchpad.net"
[22:49] <hloeung> right, so that's not the same as the error above
[22:49] <ezzieyguywuf> correct
[22:49] <hloeung> I thin kyour versioning conflicts with that's already in Ubuntu
[22:49] <ezzieyguywuf> well, this "already uploaded" error is from dput
[22:49] <hloeung> you'll need to 'dch -i' and bump the version or something
[22:49] <ezzieyguywuf> the earlier error is from launchpad, via email
[22:49] <ezzieyguywuf> hloeung: can you elaborate? I'm stil lpretty new to these tings
[22:50] <hloeung> 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] <ezzieyguywuf> hloeung: you're right
[22:50] <hloeung> 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] <hloeung> https://launchpad.net/~ezzieyguywuf/+archive/ubuntu/occwrapper/+edit-dependencies
[22:50] <hloeung> oh, looks like you can't even do that
[22:50] <ezzieyguywuf> 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] <hloeung> anyways, you'll need to bump your package version. Maybe google up 'dch -i' or similar
[22:51] <hloeung> ... because the PPA inherits packages and versions from the base Ubuntu repo
[22:52] <hloeung> if not, you and everyone with PPAs will have fun uploading bunch of dependencies
[22:54] <ezzieyguywuf> hm
[22:54] <ezzieyguywuf> I'm confused
[22:54] <ezzieyguywuf> but I'll try the version bump
[23:01] <ezzieyguywuf> hloeung: ooh. different error (via email from launchpad): " Unable to find occwrapper_0.1.4.orig.tar.gz in upload or distribution."
[23:01] <ezzieyguywuf> that's promising
[23:06] <wgrant> ezzieyguywuf: ("Package has already been uploaded" is a local error; you can override it with dput -f)
[23:06] <wgrant> ezzieyguywuf: For the "Unable to find" error, make sure you're building with debuild -S -sa rather than just debuild -S
[23:07] <ezzieyguywuf> wgrant: wah! that's a great tip
[23:07] <ezzieyguywuf> wgrant: found "-sa" online too, thanks for the tip
[23:08] <ezzieyguywuf> 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] <ezzieyguywuf> or should I just leave it?
[23:08] <wgrant> ezzieyguywuf: If none of them were accepted, you can remove those extra entries from the changelog.
[23:08] <wgrant> It's only once the package is accepted that you can't reuse the version number
[23:09] <ezzieyguywuf> looks like version 3 was finally accepted
[23:09] <ezzieyguywuf> I'd like to rename it to version 1 though
[23:09] <wgrant> It's too late for that, and doesn't matter.
[23:09] <ezzieyguywuf> fair enough
[23:10] <ezzieyguywuf> 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] <wgrant> No.
[23:11] <wgrant> debian/watch is just used by the "uscan" tool. There's nothing automatic about it.
[23:12] <wgrant> 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] <ezzieyguywuf> 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] <ezzieyguywuf> thank you for your help!
