| [18:04] <somerville32> crimsun, I'm sad to hear you're leaving the community. | |
| [18:05] <somerville32> crimsun, Are you going anywhere specific? | |
| [18:05] <crimsun> ok, carried over from #ubuntu-motu, we'll be looking at paman in hardy | |
| [18:05] <crimsun> this source package update is pretty straightforward, but I'll summarise the background. | |
| [18:06] <crimsun> for hardy, we currently have a mess in the Applications>Sound & Video menu ala http://trilug.org/~crimsun/Screenshot.png | |
| [18:07] <crimsun> the intent is to unclutter the menus similar to how the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MenusRevisited spec was implemented. | |
| [18:07] <crimsun> so, to start, we make sure our apt source is current for hardy, and then we grab the paman source package from hardy. | |
| [18:08] <crimsun> `apt-get source paman` | |
| [18:08] <crimsun> please note the version, 0.9.4-1 | |
| [18:09] <crimsun> the "upstream" version is 0.9.4, and the Debian source packaging revision is 1 (the hyphen is a separator). | |
| [18:09] <crimsun> the version, 0.9.4-1, implies that this source package in Ubuntu hardy was synced directly from Debian without any changes. | |
| [18:10] <crimsun> since we'll be amending the source package, we'll be sure to note that in the version string by appending "ubuntu1" after the Debian source packaging revision (1). | |
| [18:10] <crimsun> the final version for our Ubuntu-modified source package will be 0.9.4-1ubuntu1. | |
| [18:11] <crimsun> Luckily, the devscripts package (`apt-get install devscripts`) contains a 'dch' utility to make working with these versions easier. | |
| [18:11] <crimsun> so, now, we'll begin editing our changelog | |
| [18:12] <crimsun> `cd paman-0.9.4` | |
| [18:12] <crimsun> the next thing we'll do is use the 'dch' utility to bump the version. | |
| [18:12] <crimsun> `dch -i` | |
| [18:12] <crimsun> note how the correct version and distribution release are inserted automatically at the top. | |
| [18:12] <crimsun> paman (0.9.4-1ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low | |
| [18:13] <crimsun> I'll now outline the three things we need to do; | |
| [18:13] <crimsun> 1) change the maintainer field ala https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField | |
| [18:13] <crimsun> 2) create a patch to hide the menu item for paman | |
| [18:14] <crimsun> 3) adjust the package control fields to work appropriately with our new MenusRevisited scheme | |
| [18:14] <crimsun> --- Step 1 --- | |
| [18:15] <crimsun> since you're now editing debian/changelog, make an entry to note that, e.g., * Packaging: maintainer field mangling | |
| [18:16] <crimsun> save, then exit the editor you're using | |
| [18:16] <crimsun> now the file that we'll be editing in step 1 is debian/control | |
| [18:17] <crimsun> use an editor with that file, and scroll down to the fourth line | |
| [18:17] <crimsun> "Maintainer: CJ van den Berg <cj@vdbonline.com>" | |
| [18:17] <crimsun> we'll need to change that to "Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com>" | |
| [18:18] <crimsun> next, we retain the original maintainer information by inserting a line below our new one: "XSBC-Original-Maintainer: CJ van den Berg <cj@vdbonline.com>" | |
| [18:19] <crimsun> I'm now going to skip ahead to Step 3, since in that step, we edit the same file (debian/control) | |
| [18:19] <crimsun> --- Step 3 --- | |
| [18:20] <crimsun> remember that one of the main points of this source package adjustment is to have the appropriate binary packages hinted | |
| [18:20] <crimsun> thus, we need to add several binary package names to Recommends for paman | |
| [18:21] <crimsun> in the "Package: paman" section, please see the Recommends control field | |
| [18:21] <crimsun> currently paman only recommends pavumeter. We want to amend that to recommend pavucontrol and padevchooser as well | |
| [18:22] <crimsun> "Recommends: pavumeter, pavucontrol, padevchooser" | |
| [18:22] <crimsun> now, we've finished editing debian/control, and thus, we've finished Steps 1 & 3. | |
| [18:22] <crimsun> --- Step 2 --- | |
| [18:23] <crimsun> now we'll use a handy utility called cdbs-edit-patch to simplify creating a patch for the menu item | |
| [18:24] <crimsun> when we list the contents of the patch directory (`ls debian/patches`), we see there's already one patch | |
| [18:24] <crimsun> next, we check if that one patch is applied (`cat debian/patches/series`) | |
| [18:25] <crimsun> we see that it is. | |
| [18:25] <crimsun> now we'll create a patch that applies on top of that existing one. | |
| [18:26] <crimsun> we'll name our new patch descriptively, say, 0050-MenusRevisited.patch | |
| [18:26] <crimsun> we accomplish this with: | |
| [18:26] <crimsun> `cdbs-edit-patch 0050-MenusRevisited` | |
| [18:27] <crimsun> now, the appropriate line we'll add is "NoDisplay=true" | |
| [18:27] <crimsun> we'll make this change in the shipped desktop file, src/paman.desktop | |
| [18:28] <crimsun> simply appending that new line to the file is sufficient | |
| [18:28] <crimsun> lookee there, a spelling error that we can correct in the Comment field | |
| [18:28] <crimsun> (I changed mine to "Comment=Manage your PulseAudio sound server") | |
| [18:29] <crimsun> that's all the edits we need to make to that desktop file | |
| [18:29] <crimsun> save, then exit the editor | |
| [18:29] <somerville32> I get dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: quilt autotools-dev libpulse-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libglademm-2.4-dev lynx asciidoc xmlt when I attempt to use cdbs-edit-patch | |
| [18:30] <crimsun> somerville32: in that case, you need `apt-get build-dep paman` | |
| [18:32] <somerville32> crimsun, installing quilt seemed to correct the issue | |
| [18:33] <crimsun> (right, that's sufficient for the problem at hand. I'm being a bit more verbose to cover, for posterity/logs, what people may need without an sbuild or pbuilder) | |
| [18:34] * somerville32 nods. | |
| [18:36] <crimsun> at this point, we've edited src/paman.desktop, so we need to preserve our changes in 0050-MenusRevisited.patch | |
| [18:36] <crimsun> that's pretty straightforward: we exit by using `exit` | |
| [18:37] <crimsun> we're now back in the original directory, and we've a shiny new debian/patches/0050-MenusRevisited.patch | |
| [18:37] <crimsun> next, we need to append that filename to debian/patches/series so that it's applied | |
| [18:38] <crimsun> `echo 0050-MenusRevisited.patch>>debian/patches/series` | |
| [18:38] <crimsun> and now, we summarise our changes by editing debian/changelog | |
| [18:39] <crimsun> "* Patches: Apply (new) patch to mask menu item ala MenusRevisited." | |
| [18:40] <crimsun> the next-to-last step will be to regenerate the source package: | |
| [18:40] <crimsun> `debuild -S -uc -us` | |
| [18:42] <crimsun> finally, we'll generate a debdiff that we can attach to a bug report filed, using Launchpad, against the paman source package | |
| [18:42] <crimsun> `cd ..` | |
| [18:42] <crimsun> `debdiff paman_0.9.4-1.dsc paman_0.9.4-1ubuntu1.dsc paman_0.9.4-1ubuntu1.debdiff` | |
| [18:43] <crimsun> err, sorry, that last command should be: | |
| [18:43] <crimsun> `debdiff paman_0.9.4-1.dsc paman_0.9.4-1ubuntu1.dsc > paman_0.9.4-1ubuntu1.debdiff` | |
| [18:44] <crimsun> and we've finished! | |
| [18:49] <somerville32> crimsun, Should we update the standards version? | |
| [18:49] <crimsun> if you wish to verify that 3.7.3 is adhered to and then update it in debian/control, sure. I didn't, because I didn't verify. | |
| [18:52] <somerville32> Okay | |
| [18:52] <somerville32> I shall | |
| [18:56] <crimsun> -> -motu | |
