j4v4m4n, but does Debian and Ubuntu packaging differ a lot?
[20:49]
ideas remain same, but actual packages differ [20:50]

folks thanks for joining in!
those who don't have a debian box, please send me a private message
[21:01]
lets wait 5 minutes for people to settle in [21:04]
I guess everyone here would have installed software in windows
[21:05]
Not too much of a crowd here, i guess [21:06]
arvind_khadri: lets start
\msg j4v4m4n i will join back in few minutes, need to reboot
[21:07]
*** vaamarnath (73f8cb82@ircip1.mibbit.com) has quit: Quit:
http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client
arvind_khadri: I normally don't count numbers
Am sorry, if I offended you
so how gnu/linux differs from windows when installing software?
[21:08]
arvind_khadri: not at all
arvind_khadri: I keep hearing that always :)
:) lesser the number, the better it is, i feel
people tend to gaugue success by numbers, I don't [21:09]
We don't need to go search for a specific software any where else we
can search in the distributions repository for that software and
install it
vasudev: good, but if it is not in the repository? [21:10]
compile the package
well we need to download the source of the package and compile i
or search for the PPA
we build it from source then
*it
is that straight forward and easy?
no :/ [21:11]
no we need to look for dependecies
so how to make it easier?
building a package of that source and let package manager handle the
dependencies [21:12]
doesnt sound easier to me ;)
*** vaamarnath (73f8cb82@ircip3.mibbit.com) has joined channel #debian-in
not for a one time install
vasudev: what is the source is not in the repo
wat if*
get it from the softwares site [21:13]
:-)
wouldn't it be easier to get it packaged?
but if there is no package?
build the package from the source and submit it to upstream ;)
there are people who are good at packaging [21:14]
just request for a package
in debian it is called RFP
okay, thanks. that was the tutorial? ;)
oh [21:15]
morphium: that I, think is the backup tutorial
morphium: the plan B
well, that is not going to be useful if you want the package today
*** vaamarnath (73f8cb82@ircip3.mibbit.com) has quit:
the point is we need more people to package software [21:16]
if i'm not wrong there is one software tool which can build package
for ur system but forgot its name
so here we are trying to help those who can't build packages
of course it would help us too
we will start with a sample package [21:17]
but first lets see how to request it

many times we are able to "make deb" in the source and get a
debian package ready am I right?
go to wnpp.debian.net [21:19]
that is if you are lucky :)
wnpp stands for work needing and prospective packages
look at any one RFP listed there [21:20]
*** pavi (~pavi@117.204.65.246) has joined channel #debian-in [21:21]
hi j4v4m4n :)
everyone got an RFP page?
pavi: heya
j4v4m4n, which part of the packaging are you in now ? [21:22]
yup got it
pavi: you can skip to #debian-in-mentors
yes [21:23]
*** dk (~dk@117.192.247.143) has joined channel #debian-in

*** kart_ (~kartik@122.169.83.52) has joined channel #debian-in
yes got it..
now we want to package lekhonee-gnome [21:24]
it is already in debian, but assume it is not there for this
tutorial
prepare a text file with content similar to RFP you just saw [21:25]
and post it to paste.debian.net [21:26]
is this clear?
*** Obadiah (~Obadiah@static-mum-59.181.110.41.mtnl.net.in) has joined channel
#debian-in [21:27]
arvind_khadri: sachith kamathln_away vasudev morphium clear?
no.. confused.. [21:28]
j4v4m4n: i didn't find lekhonee-gnome in the wnpp.debian.net
dunno what this has to do with creating packages
j4v4m4n: yeah
i too didn't find it [21:29]
j4v4m4n: havee to be away most of the times :(
ok let me explain it again
*** arvind_k (~arvind@117.192.205.142) has joined channel #debian-in
vasudev: i think that is coz its already packaged [21:30]
when a software is not available in debian it will come up in wnpp
first
*** sana (~sana@59.164.122.136) has joined channel #debian-in
ok..
now we want to package lekhonee-gnome today
*** Obadiah (~Obadiah@static-mum-59.181.110.41.mtnl.net.in) has quit: [21:31]
so it has to be in wnpp
i cant find it in the wnpp
we won't add it to wnpp
but we will do it for practice
so just create a text file and create content that should be there
in an RFP [21:32]
morphium: we have to collect details about a package before we start
morphium: this exercise will help in that [21:33]
j4v4m4n: bit confused here what details should we include in the
text file?
assume you are going to file an RFP for lekhonee-gnome
*** Shravan (~shravan@220.225.67.36) has joined channel #debian-in
ok
hi
those details should be in the text file [21:34]

(11:11:59 IST) j4v4m4n: we are learning how to make any software into a debian package
(11:12:24 IST) j4v4m4n: so giving direct answers won't help when he has to create a different package
(11:12:26 IST) tvmanukrishnan1: Shravan: section is ok, I got why it belongs to net. But why priority: extra?
(11:14:40 IST) Shravan: tvmanukrishnan1 : detailed mention of all priorities : http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-priorities
(11:15:27 IST) j4v4m4n: tvmanukrishnan1: "only likely to be useful if you already know what they are"
(11:16:24 IST) tvmanukrishnan1: okey. got it now
(11:16:55 IST) tvmanukrishnan1: so, in line 4, no need to mention about the upstream maintainer?
(11:17:07 IST) SMK: to find the exact package names, type out the entire or part name in the synaptic manager search field
(11:17:21 IST) j4v4m4n: sachith: found out dependencies?
(11:18:06 IST) j4v4m4n: tvmanukrishnan1: there is copyright file to mention upstream author

(11:29:20 IST) j4v4m4n: tvmanukrishnan1: some times one source package can have more than one binary package
tvmanukrishnan1: version is tracked in another file
debian/changelong [23:28]

j4v4m4n: ok
j4v4m4n, http://paste.debian.net/96410/ [23:29]
tvmanukrishnan1: run dpkg -l libc6* and you can see different
binary packages of gnu c library
j4v4m4n: What is the significance of standards-version? And
what value should that have? [23:30]
tvmanukrishnan1: it is version of debian policy
tvmanukrishnan1: search net for debian policy and look at the bottom
for the version number [23:31]
* j4v4m4n wonder if there is an easier way to find out
j4v4m4n: always use the latest?

j4v4m4n, am i maintainer or i have copyright ?
jishnu7: you have copyright to files under debian directory
jishnu7: other files will have copyright information at the top
j4v4m4n, maintainer should be the original author right ?
tvmanukrishnan1: what do you think about jishnu7's question?
just messaged him private
guys, unable to get past the gee.h not found error :(
copying here "oh that copright. I think its for you :) and maintainer, the upstream maintainer"

tvmanukrishnan1, should i be the package maintainer ? does that point to package maintainer ?
SMK: libgee-dev?

confused! j4v4m4n help!
tvmanukrishnan1 : what happened ?
tvmanukrishnan1: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/l/lekhonee-gnome/current/copyright

SMK: try configure again
tvmanukrishnan1: use dch command
ok
jishnu7: its the other way
jishnu7: as you said
jishnu7: http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/
Maintainer - Line(s) containing the preferred address(es) to reach current upstream maintainer(s)
tvmanukrishnan1, i am the maintainer right ?

Shravan: but won't it be different for GPLv2, v3 and LGPL?
Shravan: I referred this: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/l/lekhonee-gnome/current/copyright
tvmanukrishnan1 : ohh very sorry your correct i did not see they both have different licenses
* Shravan is sleepy
yes tvmanukrinshan1 your copyright file is correct
jishnu7 : please refer to tvmanukrishnan1 copyright file and make the minor changes required
Shravan: but I didn't include the copyright names as I don't know that. So, is that okay?
backpain has started for me. Shall we continue tomorrow?
tvmanukrishnan : the name is jishnu i think
* arvind_khadri (~arvind@117.192.193.157) has joined #debian-in
jishnu : you can only name for the debian/* file
s

* sana (~sana@59.164.122.136) has left #debian-in (Ex-Chat)
Shravan: I don't know the idividual file authors. So, should I check each file for the author name?
Shravan: a coauthor too for some files. troorl
tvmanukrishan1 : yes you will need to check individual files if they have different authors :)
Shravan, what abt this one http://paste.debian.net/96448/ ?
tvmanukrishnan1> Shravan: anyway to list them all as we did for the license? Is lazy to check all files...
jishnu7 : correct now you have to add the Copyright field above the license field with the name of the author who wrote it
Shravan: Shall we keep the rest for tomorrow? Has to get some sleep.
jishnu7: not sleeping today?
