[00:35] ok got issue when i do a dput ... its asking me for a .changes file [00:36] dput ppa:myusername/testing mytest.deb [00:36] why cannt i send the .deb up to my launchpad account ??? [00:36] what is up with this .changes file. [00:36] Not this is a new ppa i created for testing purposes [00:37] so how can i upload my .deb to it and then test out that i can apt-get from it by adding the repo ppa location [00:37] i know how to add repo so the later is not an issue. [00:37] its getting the .deb on the ppa ??? [00:49] ok i bite confused so apparently launchpad does accept .deb files they build the deb on site [00:49] but now i am trying to figure out debuild [01:49] its not difficult to use existing ppa its just a whole another monkey shit world when it comes to the other way actually building packages for hosting sites ...ppa ..etc [01:50] fuck ridiculous [01:59] make up your fucking mines launchpad do you want it in source form or do you want the .deb file and if you want the source can you explain better how the fucking get .controls file and how to do debuild , dput for a given ppa you created [02:01] back to just hosting my files as a .tar.gz and instructions. [02:02] i got tar.gz in binary or source make yourself format [02:02] yet its a whole dog shit deal to get it into a deb in a repo like ppa [03:01] please i urgue you guys to consider to make a youtube video on how to use dput with your launchpad account [04:04] Haha, I'm not the only one who babbles at this channel while nobody is listening. [04:08] droid3: What is this software you're packaging? [05:45] ok i got it close with dh_make [05:46] but now when i do fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -F [05:46] i get this last error failed to sign .dsc file [05:46] i dont really want to make a public key and sign [05:47] is there away to tell it to just build an unsigned deb package [05:47] because i have seen this method also produces the changes file and keeps the source file as well as building the .deb file [05:48] in which case all ignore the deb file and just take the .changes file with dput and the source directory and i should beable to upload to my launchpad ppa now [05:49] but i need this last issue about gpg and signing stuff i dont really want to create gpg keys just to have this shit work to my launch pad if i dont have to [05:49] its a test upload i plan on deleting it just want to see it work before i write better install/uninstall scripts and sign stuff [06:01] dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us [06:01] [06:02] does it but i still need to figure out how i uses gpg with dpkg-buildpackage to make signed stuff because launchpad wants signed stuff before i can upload to my ppa apparently [06:02] for overly secure purpose [06:03] because there so many malicous programs running around out there. ridiculous even if there was the ppa are for personal repo not even the main repos anyway wtf [06:04] so convoluted i could have decent thousand times better package managers for all the systems because normally your only using a fraction of the features of installing package anyway. [06:05] overly complex , to many tools , ...etc ridiculous where as the other side adding ppa , or apt-getting , or software center ,...etc is very easy for the end user to do [06:05] its just for the programmer side its made ridiculously complicate [06:06] still got to figure out the gpg with the buildpackage command as that yields the changes file i need to dput this into my ppa and end all this shit once and for all [06:11] ok i got a changes file but now when i do a dput ppa/URL mychangesfile [06:11] i get [06:11] gpgme_op_verify: GPGME: No data [06:12] so dput really needs a gpg signed key to upload it to launchpad O joy another bundle of shit [06:12] ok well if i figure this last aspect out i should people to see it upload to my launchpad account [06:13] and then beable to add it to my apt-get as another repo location that be the easy part if i can just get gpg to work with this [07:39] ok dput says package has already been upload so where the heck are they i dont see any files on the website going to the testing ppa i created ? [07:39] Where on the launchpad site do you go to see these [07:41] And going thru all this trouble and bullshit of having getting launchpad to build the .deb stuff and repos... please good tell me the packages are at least made portable enough for all major debian based OS and not something specific to just ubuntu or mint or something [09:19] where the heck can i see the dput files i just upload under my test ppa in my launchpad account [09:20] i finally was able to get them up with dput to my launchpad account no i cannt see them list under the test ppa i create WTF [09:20] they said successfully upload and i went thru installing a gpg key and everything just to see this shit work yet what the heck [09:52] droid3: most usual cause is the upload was not signed with a gpg key, or one that is registered to your LP account [11:24] anyone about [11:26] i have a ppa i want to uplaode a pavckage for focal but the ppa was setup with disco, do i allow focal packages in launchpad or is it when i am using dput [12:28] Fudge: if the 1st changelog line has focal instead of disco when you build the source to upload, launchpad will build it for focal in the ppa [12:30] e.g. https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/staging-misc/+sourcepub/11791989/+listing-archive-extra [13:48] droid3: Your upload was rejected (and Launchpad sent you an email about that) because the top entry in debian/changelog targeted it at "unstable"; you need to put the name of an Ubuntu series there, e.g. "focal". [13:49] (At least, our logs say that Launchpad sent you an email. Of course email sometimes fails to arrive for whatever reason.) [13:50] Also please note that dh_make just generates very basic template packaging and you're expected to need to edit the result. [20:40] ok i dput the source package up on launchpad i dont know where it is from the website [20:41] however when i add the ppa to software center i get this error with software center when i reload it. Failed to download repository information .... [20:41] http://ppa.launchpad.net/myaccountname/testing/ubuntu bionic InRelease' is not signed. [20:42] i just last night setup gpg and have a key for digital signing on launchpad [20:42] so what is this bitching about maybe i have to redo and create another ppa and delete the old one???? [20:42] I was thinking it was just something i had to wait overnight for to take affect [20:43] But now any help to fix it i just want to see my ppa show up in my software center before i delete the ppa and work on make a more robust source package that will be more permanent for everybody to use. [20:43] if they want [20:44] what this InRelease thing not being signed do i have to sign it some how if so where do i go??? [20:44] Obfuscating the PPA name makes it hard to help you [20:45] and where do i even see the repo ppa structure and files that i dput its so convoluted the structure of this launchpad website [20:45] What is your account name? [20:45] So your upload was rejected as I explained earlier [20:45] You need to fix the reason for the rejection and reupload [20:46] That being "Unable to find distroseries: unstable" [20:47] Launchpad needs to be told what Ubuntu release you want to build the package for [20:47] You do that by putting the release name in debian/changelog where you currently have "unstable" [20:49] If you want to build for multiple different Ubuntu releases, it's usual to append "~ubuntu18.04.1", "~ubuntu20.04.1", etc. to the version and upload to each separate release [22:17] can anybody tell me what changelog file i have to change [22:17] and what the exact thing i have to put it in to just have a test ppa repo create that i can install stuff from [22:18] if unstable not change is the issue thats a far cry from this error [22:18] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Y77HhrxZp7/ [22:18] you cannt debug shit because its all over the fucking place with bullshit [22:19] you know what i am going to start over from scratch now that i have a gpg key install maybe i had dh_make or dpkg-buildpackage before i had the key screwing shit up [22:19] i dont know anymore now i fucking lost [22:21] is there any other launchpad like site that support ppa hosting out there because this stuff is shit [22:22] at least having any zip examples that will work with dput that i can just edit a few things and dput them to my ppa repo [22:22] i mean this is ridiculous
