[02:15] <ubotu> New bug: #188497 in rosetta "Please change Hungarian plural forms in Rosetta" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/188497
[03:25] <eddyMul> what is a good interface to search irclogs.ubuntu.com besides googling for `site:irclogs.ubuntu.com "#launchpad"`?
[03:25] <Hobbsee> wget it all, then grep it? :)
[03:26] <Hobbsee> eddyMul: what do you want to serach for?
[03:26] <eddyMul> well, I'm pretty sure someone before me had asked this question: how to have PPA build packages from 'main' (in my case: git-core)
[03:27] <Hobbsee> as in, how do you get them to build against main?
[03:28] <eddyMul> Hobbsee: yes.
[03:28] <eddyMul> ... well, maybe... Ubuntu Installer emailed me "Signer is not permitted to upload to the component 'main' of file 'git-core_1.5.2.5-2build1+ppa1.dsc'"
[03:28] <Hobbsee> they will build against main, universe, and restricted by default now
[03:32] <eddyMul> Hobbsee: I feel like Ubuntu Installer is telling me to change my git-core package to another component
[03:33] <Hobbsee> eddyMul: ahhh. are you actually uploading to ppa, or you uploading to archive.ubuntu.com?
[03:33] <eddyMul> Hobbsee: PPA. (me no Ubuntu-dev)
[03:33] <Hobbsee> eddyMul: i didn't ask where you had permissions to upload to - i asked where you were uploading to.
[03:34] <eddyMul> Hobbsee: I'm trying to upload to PPA
[03:34] <Hobbsee> did you use dput ppa foo_source.changes
[03:34] <Hobbsee> or just dput foo_source.changes
[03:34] <eddyMul> Hobbsee: I might've missed the "ppa" argument..... will try....
[03:34] <Hobbsee> eddyMul: i think you did
[03:35] <Hobbsee> or whatever you named your ppa section in ~/.dput.conf to be
[03:37] <eddyMul> I guess I can be lazy and rename the suggested ~/.dput.cf:[my-ppa] to ~/.dput.cf:[DEFAULT]
[03:37] <AlgorithmicContr> someone ping me
[03:38] <Hobbsee> AlgorithmicContr: ping
[03:38] <Hobbsee> eddyMul: actually, you can chuck it all into /etc/dput.cf, and then change the default= line in there
[03:38] <Hobbsee> the guide doesn't say that, as not everyone has root access
[03:38] <Hobbsee> but that's the standard, easiest way of doing it
[03:40] <eddyMul> Hobbsee: I don't see 'default=' in `man dput.cf`. Did I just find a documentation bug?
[03:41] <Hobbsee> default_host_main
[03:41] <Hobbsee> This defines the default host for packages that are allowed to
[03:41] <Hobbsee> be uploaded to the main archive. This variable is used when
[03:41] <Hobbsee> guessing the host to upload to.
[03:41] <Hobbsee> i suspect it's that
[03:41] <Hobbsee> yeah, it is.
[03:43] <eddyMul> Hobbsee: so, my /etc/dput.cf should look like: http://dpaste.com/33536/ ?
[03:45] <Hobbsee> looks good to me
[03:45] <Hobbsee> unsure if you ened the default_host stuff in the higher section, though
[03:48] <eddyMul> Hobbsee: can I peek at yours?
[03:49] <eddyMul> Hobbsee: can you show me your /etc/dput.cf?
[03:49] <Hobbsee> eddyMul: give me a sec
[03:50] <eddyMul> I noticed PPAQuickStart now suggests appending ~ppa instead of +ppa. Do I need to re-submit my packages?
[03:51] <Hobbsee> eddyMul: see http://wedontsleep.org/~sarah/dput.cf
[03:51] <Hobbsee> no, i wouldn't bother
[03:51] <Hobbsee> but you do need to use ~ normally, as that makes it lower than the package without the ~. + will make it higher
[03:53] <eddyMul> Hobbsee: thanx for showing me your dput.cf
[03:53] <Hobbsee> eddyMul: no problem
[04:06] <Hobbsee> argh, that documentation is *still* out of date, adn therefore wrong.
[09:50] <ubotu> New bug: #188564 in launchpad "Build also packages for Debian in PPA's" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/188564
[09:54] <Fujitsu> Oh dear.
[10:04] <goobsoft> If I've got man pages in an upstream package that are nroff formatted and uncompressed, should the debian/rules file compress those? Why doesn't dh_installman have the option of doing that?
[10:05] <goobsoft> Surely I don't understand how this is normally done.
[10:07] <Fujitsu> Ummm, can anybody really modify a question's summary and description without record or special permissions?
[10:09] <goobsoft> If that was a reply to me, I don't understand what you're saying.
[10:09] <Fujitsu> It wasn't, sorry.
[10:12] <Fujitsu> I believe that dh_compress should do that compression.
[10:16] <goobsoft> That did the trick for the man pages. Thanks!
[10:16] <Fujitsu> np
[10:33] <goobsoft> I have a problem, I don't fully understand, so I may not ask the right question. I have a orig.tar.gz file that my package uses. It's listed in the dsc file, but when I build, it's not listed in the changes file. As a result dput isn't sending the orig.tar.gz file to my ppa.
[10:34] <goobsoft> Why is the orig.tar.gz not listed in the changes after a build?
[10:36] <Fujitsu> You need to run debuild -S -sa
[10:36] <Fujitsu> -sa includes the .orig.tar.gz
[10:36] <goobsoft> ah ok.
[11:06] <goobsoft> Lintian is returning the error: E: worklogproc_0.4-0ubuntu0+8.04+ppa1_source.changes: bad-ubuntu-distribution-in-changes-file hardy
[11:07] <goobsoft> Is that just because my version of lintian doesn't know about hardy?
[11:07] <goobsoft> Is the error safe to ignore?
[11:07] <geser> goobsoft: yes, you can ignore that or update lintian
[11:07] <goobsoft> ok, thanks
[11:10] <thekorn> hi, I have one question:
[11:10] <Hobbsee> shoot
[11:10] <thekorn> If I add two comments to a bugreport with the same subject and same text only the first one is added to the bugreport,
[11:10] * Fujitsu watches Hobbsee fall to the floor.
[11:11] <Fujitsu> Correct.
[11:11] <thekorn> is this intended, perhaps as a kind of spam protection?
[11:11] <Fujitsu> And to avoid people accidentally posting the same thing twice, I believe.
[11:11] <thekorn> If so, why do I get, as I am subscribed to the bug, two notification-emails?
[11:11] <thekorn> is this a bug?
[11:11] <Hobbsee> thekorn: what are the X-launchpad-rationale's for each of the bugs?
[11:12] * thekorn tries to find out how to show the header in evolution
[11:13] <Fujitsu> You may have to view the source.
[11:14] <thekorn> Hobbsee, both "Subscriber"
[11:14] <Fujitsu> OK, it's a bug, then.
[11:15] <thekorn> ok, will report it then,
[11:15] <thekorn> thanks Hobbsee and Fujitsu
[11:15] <goobsoft> Why can't I upload packages to my ppa for hardy?
[11:15] <goobsoft> http://pastebin.com/d6359e5e2
[11:16] <Fujitsu> goobsoft: Because that wasn't uploaded to your PPA; you uploaded that to Ubuntu.
[11:16] <goobsoft> oh, good call
[11:16] <goobsoft> doh

[14:26] <thekorn> ScottK, no, I dont think this is related,
[14:27] <thekorn> the behaviour I discribed happens also in projects where no bug contact is set,

[19:01] <ubotu> It's a weekend. Often on weekends, the paid developers, and a lot of the community, may not be around to answer your question. Please be patient, wait longer than you normally would, or try again during the working week.
[19:03] <RainCT> not everywhere :P
