[11:57] <nickoe> How long time does it take before packages appear on a ppa I just created and pushed with dput?
[12:05] <wgrant> nickoe: Just a minute or two, normally. In this case, you've received a rejection email.
[12:06] <nickoe> wgrant: ahh yes, I got mail.
[12:06] <nickoe> Unable to find distroseries: unstable
[12:06] <nickoe> mm
[12:06] <wgrant> unstable is a Debian series, not an Ubuntu one.
[12:06] <wgrant> You'll need to fix debian/changelog to specify the Ubuntu series that you want to target.
[12:07] <nickoe> wgrant: mm, currently I am testing on ubuntu LTS.
[12:08] <nickoe> but I just used apt-get source to gram some package and build some more packages from it.
[12:08] <nickoe> wgrant: How should I do it if I want to target both ubuntu LTS and deb stable?
[12:08] <nickoe> I am new in deb packaging.
[12:08] <wgrant> nickoe: Launchpad PPAs only build for Ubuntu, not Debian.
[12:08] <nickoe> I usually use arch.
[12:08] <nickoe> but I have seen some building for deb also.
[12:09] <wgrant> Documentation under https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA may be of interest.
[12:09] <wgrant> launchpad.net cannot build for Debian.
[12:10] <nickoe> mm, whatever, i need to makeit work for ubuntu in the first place
[12:14] <nickoe> mmm, wgrant if I just modify it to trusty, it will reject the upload saying it has already been uploaded
[12:16] <wgrant> nickoe: What are you trying to do? Backport a newer package to trusty?
[12:17] <wgrant> If so, look at the backportpackage tool in ubuntu-dev-tools.
[12:17] <wgrant> Anyway, I need to sleep.
[12:17] <nickoe> wgrant: mmm, kind of. wx3.0 does not include python-wxgtk3.0 in its wx3.0 release. It only has python-wxgtk2.8. KiCad requires wx3.0 now, and depends on wxpython.

[17:29] <nickoe> mmm, http://dpaste.com/2NQQR5M add-apt-repository fails with utf8 char. I see similar bugs about this, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1012901 but that was long ago.
