[08:59] <Kalidarn> m, this looks like a good channel to hang about in, only just discovered it.
[10:19] <dpm> hi Kalidarn, welcome :)
[12:42] <morten77> hmm...
[13:58] <dpm> hi mterry, quick question: I've noticed that after issuing the 'quickly submitubuntu' command the release version of my app went from 0.1 to 12.05 (setup.py got updated). Is there a way to have control over the version number instead of 'submitubuntu' just issuing e.g. 12.05?
[13:59] <mterry> dpm, yeah. You can pass a version string to use. See quickly help submitubuntu, but I believe the usage is just "quickly submitubuntu 0.2"
[14:01] <dpm> mterry, ah cool, thanks. Is there a reason why by default the command uses e.g. 12.05 instead of the version specified originally in setup.py?
[14:02] <mterry> dpm, the idea is that quickly manages the version in setup.py for you. So the flow is to bump your version with the submitubuntu command, and quickly defaults to a year.month scheme
[14:02] <dpm> mterry, ah, gotcha, I'm reading the help for the command too. Thanks
[14:24] <dpm> mterry, when you've got a minute, do you think you could have a go at answering http://askubuntu.com/questions/138422/what-is-the-difference-between-the-release-share-and-submitubuntu-commands-in-q ? I know you explained me the difference between release and share a while ago, but since I could not remember, I thought I'd make it a question on AU for future reference
[14:24] <dpm> bbl
[15:40] <jokerdino> err is this alright? http://askubuntu.com/a/138460/25798
[15:45] <dpm> jokerdino, awesome, yeah, it looks like I'm going to take it as an answer :) - for the sake of completion, do you happen to know the main differences in terms of actions performed by each command? E.g. I know that something that makes 'submitubuntu' different is that it builds a package that installs in '/opt', as per the ARB requirements
[15:45] <jokerdino> not accurate enough. i just happened to fiddle around quickly yesterday
[15:46] <jokerdino> well, you could answer your own question with details.
[15:48] <jokerdino> or if you are generous, you can edit my answer and add those relevant parts :)
[15:50] <jokerdino> thanks much. Jorge got your edit.
[15:52] <dpm> yeah, credit where credit is due. Thanks jokerdino!
[15:53] <jokerdino> well, i could figure out the intention behind the question.
[15:53] <jokerdino> building developer documentation it seems?
[15:54] <jokerdino> and is there any thoughts on adding the rss feeds of application-development tag to this chat room perhaps?
[15:54] <dpm> jokerdino, oh, that'd be an excellent idea. Do you happen to know how we can actually do it? Is there any bot for that?
[15:55] <jokerdino> there is a bot in juju room doing rss feed for juju tag.
[15:55] <jokerdino> i think marco ceppi should know more about this
[15:56] <dpm> I've just asked Jorge, let me see if Marco is aroung
[15:56] <dpm> *around
[15:57] <jrgifford> jokerdino: you rang?
[15:57] <jokerdino> i think jrgifford should help as well :))
[15:58] <jrgifford> oh, so you're looking for how to add the rss feed.
[15:58] <dpm> yeah, that'd be awesome
[15:59] <jrgifford> jokerdino: no clue, sorry i can't help. i wasn't involved with getting that set up originally. marco or jorge might know.
[16:00] <jokerdino> darn. i was hoping you knew what happened.
[21:38] <mterry> jokerdino, oh whoops. I had that askubuntu tab open all day and finally got to answering it. Didn't notice you had already done so because I didn't refresh
[21:38] <mterry> jokerdino, thanks!
