[00:12] how can I upload a binary package instead? like with DEBIAN/control? [00:20] how can I make launchpad accept a single binary in usr/bin? [00:22] dsi_: Launchpad only accepts source package uploads. [00:23] But you can easily create a source package that produces a simple binary package like that. [00:23] ok, but then how it's going to build my package [00:23] I can't find doc about that [00:23] likeeverything is about upstream tars and make [00:24] how do the guys at graphics-drivers/ppa upload things? [00:24] those are all binary packages.. [00:26] this is as useless as it can get: https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging/SourcePackage [00:27] dsi_: In weird cases like that they construct a Debian source package containing built executables (because that's all that upstream provides), and the source package just puts the executables into the right places in the binary packages. [00:27] But where source is available, the source package should always contain source and the debian/rules should build it [00:27] Describing documentation as non-specifically useless is itself not especially useful. [00:28] this is also useless: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/dreq.en.html#rules [00:28] again, where do I put my stuff [00:28] "stuff" [00:29] this is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo about things which were never explained [00:29] I need to download, compile and install various tools [00:29] to create a binary [00:29] now that process can be done in the CI [00:29] or I would need to spend a week just to understand that cryptic thing [00:30] debian packageing and launchpad are needlessly overcomplicated [00:30] This is nothing to do with Launchpad. [00:31] Normally your debian/rules can just be a couple of lines, but it looks like this software uses a non-standard build system so it will be a bit more complicated. [00:31] well, it doesn't accept binaries... [00:31] That's what I'm talking about - everything is about "make" [00:31] It's not intended by anyone that a binary package is created without a source package. [00:32] If you have specific questions we can try to answer them [00:32] But just pointing at a page of documentation and saying it's useless really doesn't help us help you [00:32] I can't even obviously see how to build this software [00:32] The readme references a script that doesn't exist. [00:32] is there a normal documentation which explain how can I use a "non-standard" build system? [00:33] It's literally just about installing nim and the calling "nimble build" [00:33] the choosenim tool installs the latest stable nim tools [00:33] then I update the PATH and I can build [00:35] Packages built on Launchpad cannot pull in things from random places on the Internet. But the nim compiler is in Ubuntu, so you can just include it in your Build-Depends. [00:35] The Examples section in https://manpages.debian.org/testing/debhelper/dh.1.en.html is probably of interest. [00:35] That won't do, I need a fresh nim compiler [00:35] Then you'll need to find a package of that, or package it yourself. [00:35] I don't know if there's a PPA that has up-to-date nim compilers [00:36] this is a serious handicap [00:36] https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/nimlang looks potentially promising [00:36] one release and already outdated... [00:37] I think I will just leave this alone [00:37] and integrate an update system into the binary like on Windows === cpaelzer__ is now known as cpaelzer === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk [15:39] Could someone please process this? https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/680236 [15:39] We've reached capacity. [16:02] tsimonq2: 40 GB, really? Oh, multiple series? [16:08] Yeah. [16:09] cjwatson: I asked for 25 last time and I was given 40. I'd like consistency. :P [16:14] Oh OK [16:14] done [17:45] cjwatson, wgrant: have you seen bug 1447978? [17:45] bug 1447978 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) "Best Place To Buy Tramadol Online Overnight" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1447978 [17:47] cleaned up a bit harder, thanks [19:41] cjwatson, wgrant: Builds seem to be stuck. [21:10] Thanks to whoever took the proverbial hammer to the build farm to get it started again.
