| ezzieyguywuf | I'm trying to build my package in pbuilder, but I get a strange error that I don't understand: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GFmSWBQ7BS/ | 00:34 |
|---|---|---|
| ezzieyguywuf | it says that it can't satisfy a dependency because it's a "virtual package" | 00:34 |
| ezzieyguywuf | hm, sorry this is probbly the wrong channel for this | 00:34 |

| ezzieyguywuf | I'm trying to follow the instructions located here: https://help.launchpad.net/Code/Git#Mirroring_repositories_from_other_sites | 17:07 |
| ezzieyguywuf | however, I don't see anywhere in my launchpad that says "configuration options" | 17:07 |
| ezzieyguywuf | does anyone know where I may find this link? | 17:07 |
| cjwatson | ezzieyguywuf: As it says, it's on the main page for a project you maintain (not your user page or whatever) | 17:20 |
| ezzieyguywuf | cjwatson: I've navigated here (https://launchpad.net/~ezzieyguywuf/+archive/ubuntu/occwrapper) which is the main page for a project I maintain | 17:49 |
| ezzieyguywuf | but there is nothing here about "configuration options" | 17:49 |
| ezzieyguywuf | cjwatson: here's what I see https://pasteboard.co/HIB3xdU.png | 17:51 |
| cjwatson | ezzieyguywuf: That's a PPA, not a project. | 17:55 |
| cjwatson | ezzieyguywuf: What exactly are you trying to do? | 17:55 |
| ezzieyguywuf | cjwatson: I want to mirror my git repository, which is hosted on gittlab, and then create a recipe that will build deb packages based on new tags | 17:57 |
| cjwatson | ezzieyguywuf: And you're the upstream maintainer of this thing - it isn't a fork of something that somebody else maintains? | 17:58 |
| ezzieyguywuf | cjwatson: that's correct | 18:00 |
| cjwatson | ezzieyguywuf: Probably best to register a project to hold the git import, then. https://help.launchpad.net/Projects/Registering | 18:00 |
| ezzieyguywuf | cjwatson: ah, I see. | 18:01 |
| ezzieyguywuf | I'm still learning the terminology. I did not realize that "Project" had special significance over "PPA" | 18:01 |
| ezzieyguywuf | can you expound a bit as to what the differences are? | 18:01 |
| cjwatson | Right, it's a different category. A project is a representation of an upstream project, with various optional things attached to it like bug tracking, code hosting, etc.; a PPA (personal package archive) is just an environment for publishing .deb packages. | 18:02 |
| cjwatson | Neither replaces the other. | 18:02 |
| ezzieyguywuf | ah hah, I see. Well "Project" is definitely what I'm looking for then | 18:02 |
| cjwatson | You need both | 18:02 |
| ezzieyguywuf | right | 18:03 |
| ezzieyguywuf | ok this is starting to make more sense, thank you for the help. | 18:03 |
| cjwatson | np | 18:05 |
| kisak | g'day, looks like https://launchpad.net/~openstack-ubuntu-testing/+archive/ubuntu/queens/+build/15524820 is a stalled build? | 18:59 |
