[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:07:42] <mether> for those who have a pristine environment and just getting started
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:07:59] <mether> yum install fedora-packager would setup the basic tools
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:08:15] <paragn> mether, hello
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:08:39] <mether> yum groupinstall "Development Tools" is useful too for the toolchain
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:09:34] <mether> There are thousands of spec files available at <A HREF="http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/">http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpm s/</A>

[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:10:04] <mether> yep, the one with fedora 9 is okay
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:10:14] <Ankur^^> okay..
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:10:34] <mether> In most cases, you don't need to write spec files from scratch and can reuse existing ones

[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:11:19] <mether> packaging allows end users to install, remove and upgrade packages easily. This includes the ability to install dependencies automatically

[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:12:01] <mether> RPM is designed to be non interactive and cleanly separate the source from the patches
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:12:09] <paragn> sample SPEC template files can be found on your system at /etc/rpmdevtools/
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:12:35] <mether> the non interactive part means that you cannot ask questions during installation
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:13:05] <chacha_chaudhry> Rakesh Pandit
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:13:22] <mether> the idea behind that is to completely automate installations. You need to pick sane defaults while packaging upstream software and any other details should be a post configuration item
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:14:04] <mether> The design of pristine upstream sources + patches is to enable you to move to a newer upstream release when necessary among other things
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:14:23] Join Soumya has joined this channel (n=Soumya@117.192.8.247).
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:14:32] <mether> RPM can be either source or binary
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:15:13] <mether> a source RPM consists of a spec file and the upstream files (typically a archive such as tar.gz)
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:15:55] <mether> The spec file determines how the software is configured, where the files are places and generally how it should be setup
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:16:48] <mether> you can use the sample spec files from /etc/rpmdevtools or use the rpmdev-newspec command to create templates
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:17:30] <mether> #rpmdev-newspec foo.spec would create a minimalistic spec
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:18:15] <mether> #rpmdev-newspec python foo-python.spec will create a basic spec for packaging applications written in python
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:19:02] <mether> The minimalistic spec file would look like this: <A HREF="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CreatingPackageHowTo#Creating_a_blank_spec_file">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMai ntainers/CreatingPackageHowTo#Creating_a _blank_spec_file</A>
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:19:30] <mether> Name and Version is fairly self explanatory

[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:20:32] <mether> Release is typically a number you use to differentiate between consecutive builds of the same upstream release
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:20:44] <mether> for example, if the upstream release is foo-1.0
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:20:58] <mether> and release starts from 1
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:21:08] <pradeepto> hi
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:21:29] <mether> your source and binary packages would say foo.1.0-1
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:22:22] <mether> A summary is a short one line description of the software project
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:23:11] <mether> Group is used to categorize RPM packages. In Fedora, we rely on a alternative method of grouping using a xml file called comps

[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:23:51] <mether> Hence the other package management tools including yum don't rely on groups anymore.
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:24:35] <mether> The comps file is explained in more detail at <A HREF="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CompsXml">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMai ntainers/CompsXml</A>
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:25:17] <mether> License is the collective license of the upstream software
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:25:49] <mether> More details at <A HREF="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing</A>
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:26:29] <mether> The Linux kernel for example would say GPLv2
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:27:52] <mether> In Fedora, we are more strict about specifying the licensing so we can keep track of what is being included, any potential licensing conflicts and generally making sure that Fedora is always freely usable, modifiable redistributable.

[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:29:00] <mether> %prep, %build and %install
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:29:43] <mether> In RPM, commonly used tasks are specified as macros to save time and avoid problems
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:30:03] <mether> Since upstream releases come in source archives like I said earlier, you would want to extract them first
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:30:24] <mether> you would run something like tar zxvf foo-0.1.tar.gz
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:30:44] <mether> instead of that, in spec files you can use %setup macro which does this for you

[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:31:37] <mether> There are many such macros we use throughout the spec files

[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:33:07] <mether> In %build section you will configure the extracted source
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:33:41] <mether> Many of the software projects allows you enable/disable specific features or configure them in a different way
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:34:06] <mether> Your job as a packager will include figuring out the right configuration options to specify
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:34:33] <mether> The packaging guidelines in Fedora enforces or recommends certain things
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:34:54] <mether> including disabling static libraries whenever possible, using specific file patches etc

[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:36:00] <mether> use your common sense or ask more experienced package maintainers if you are in doubt
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:37:19] <mether> Also note that the packaging guidelines are living documents. They do get changes over time. Do not blindly follow them. Understand the rationale behind them and verify that they are applicable for the software project you are trying to package

[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:37:52] <ShadowCaptian> is the packaging discussion on yet?
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:38:08] <mether> ShadowCaptian: its alright. we will post the logs. Yes, we are in the middle of it

[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:39:03] <mether> does it within a specific build directory
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:39:17] <mether> you should never build RPM packages as root user
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:39:44] <Ankur^^> can you please explain why?
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [15:40:12] <mether> it is easy to create simple mistakes in your spec files that can wipe out your system entirely. Upstream source cannot be naively trusted and can contain malicious or unintentional consequences

[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:20:56] <debarshi> paragn: So when are these 'Requires(...)' checked? When installing the package, or just before the scriptlet is to be run?
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:21:01] <paragn> look more on post*/pre* usage at <A HREF="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets#Syntax">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ ScriptletSnippets#Syntax</A>
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:21:25] <mether> A number of guidelines are workarounds for bugs and misfeatures. Some of these are fixed in the later revisions but since we want to maintain compatibility for older releases (including EPEL), we continue to retain them in the spec file
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:21:50] <chacha_chaudhry> mether: what about release field for projects source with prerelease numbers (e.g r21, rc34) or alpha/beta
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:22:14] <paragn> debarshi, just before scriptlet is to be run
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:22:26] <mether> <A HREF="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#Pre-Release_packages">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ NamingGuidelines#Pre-Release_packages</A> covers this
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:22:42] <chacha_chaudhry> okay
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:22:50] <mether> sometimes upstream release names differ in a insane way and only way out is to use Epoch
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:23:06] <mether> but try and avoid and point out the problem to upstream projects
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:23:37] <debarshi> paragn: Yes, that answers my doubt. :-)
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:23:39] <mether> openssl for example has oddball naming conventions that differ wildly between releases with no obvious rhyme or reason
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:24:15] <chacha_chaudhry> okay
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:24:21] <mether> You might want to talk to upstream first before you start packaging if the release conventions are not obvious and plan for this
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:24:34] <debarshi> httrack is another crazy upstream
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:25:11] <mether> Epoch overrides everything and is the last way out if you get struck
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:26:04] <mether> Also upstream projects use release numbers to convey different meaning
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:26:06]   * debarshi has a question regarding %doc

[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:26:27] <mether> the classical linux model of odd versions for unstable releases is an example of this but there are others which are far less obvious

[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:27:13] <debarshi> mether: Does it make a difference if I mark or don't mark the man/info pages as %doc?
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:27:29] <mether> It doesn't. RPM does that automatically
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:28:06] <debarshi> mether: Ok.
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:28:36] <mether> RPM has increasingly tried to be smart about figuring out the dependencies but it does get it wrong sometime and you need to override it. This isn't the case for %doc but perl packages sometimes run into these issues
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:29:29] <mether> Also afaik there isn't a automated way to find out run-time dependencies unlike build dependencies (which can be figured out using mock, koji etc)
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:30:38] <mether> The packaging committee is a whole team of people who are experts in these areas and you can post to fedora-packaging list and ask questions if you find your peers unable to explain anything

[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:33:09] <debarshi> mether: Some people add the upstream's signatures as Source1. Is it recommended or useful?
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:33:34] <mether> what do you mean by signatures
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:33:47] <mether> do you have a example?
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:33:52] <paragn> I think he mean tarball signatures?
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:34:01] <debarshi> foo-1.0.tar.gz.asc or something like that.
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:34:11] <mether> ah ok
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:34:11] <debarshi> paragn: Yes, tarball signatures.
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:34:15] <paragn> I don't see any use of that
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:34:19] <debarshi> I forgot the correct nomenclature.
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:34:42] <debarshi> paragn: Ok. Ok.
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:35:01] <debarshi> One more query.
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:35:12] <mether> ask
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:35:36] <debarshi> Why do we keep stressing on preserving timestamps? Things like 'cp -p', INSTALL="install -p", etc..
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:36:14] <mether> paragn: this should be your favorite one I guess
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:36:43] <paragn> mether, I got that from mtasaka so it favorite of mtasaka
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:38:08] Part snehk_ has left this channel.
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:38:08] <paragn> basically we try to keep timestamps of upstream files to make sure what upstream gave in that file actually to differentiate any changes done by any daemon/ourselves
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:38:21] <mether> debarshi: it is not strictly required but it useful to identify when you pull from upstream
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:38:45] <sandeeps> may be to record when new library was installed on the system and when you remove the library to keep the library information on current Linux system
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:39:00] <paragn> so its crosscheck between upstream provided file and to check if something has modified it
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:39:12] <debarshi> Ah, ok.
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:39:18] <mether> right, this is a additional check along with md5sum's
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:39:30] <debarshi> One more question. Related to multilib.
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:39:53] <debarshi> Say I have foo.i386 and foo.x86_64, both of which install /usr/bin/foo.
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:40:17] <debarshi> How is this collision handled? I mean is it even possible? Or this is only allowed for libraries?
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:40:44] <debarshi> (I mean what are the prime targets for multilib conflicts in simple terms?)
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:41:00] <mether> Libraries are the typical targets, yes
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:41:33] <debarshi> mether: Ones which hard-code /usr/lib, isn't it?
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:41:39] <mether> RPM gives priority (in rpm terms, color) to a particular arch over another and ignores the collision
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:41:51] <debarshi> mether: Oh, ok. Ok.
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:42:15] <mether> yes, file path is what determines this particular feature/ hack afaik
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:42:33] <debarshi> So we only maintain separate copies for libraries and let others get overwiritten by priority?
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:43:11] <mether> That's the gist of it. However there are lot of oddball corner cases. I certainly don't know them all
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:44:26] <mether> There is a good reason, other packaging systems like .deb have ignored this till now
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:44:42] <mether> It is pretty hard to get right

[Mon Jul 28 2008] [16:45:44] <mether> We don't install multi-lib by default in yum anymore to try and avoid the problems

[Mon Jul 28 2008] [17:11:49] <mether> baali: @scim will install the packages that are default in the scim group
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [17:12:07] <chacha_chaudhry> :)
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [17:12:19] <baali> lucky me:)
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [17:12:25] <mether> baali: you probably need to specify @<language>-support
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [17:12:39] <mether> that will automatically pull in scim packages as necessary
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [17:13:06] <baali> but i am specifying what language support i want
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [17:13:15] <mether> right
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [17:13:40] <baali> but scim is not getting installed:(
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [17:13:44] <mether> that has a conditional dependency on the scim packages
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [17:13:44] <mether> really?
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [17:13:45] <mether> thats odd
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [17:13:59] <baali> so should i try %packages --resolvedeps
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [17:14:12] <baali> ya i cant get scim installed with it
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [17:14:33] <mether> baali: thats the default but try specifying the group or packages manually
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [17:14:39] <baali> although i am able to login into session with hindi lang.
[Mon Jul 28 2008] [17:15:12] <baali> so should i try @ scim or @scim-hindi....

[Tue Jul 29 2008] [13:46:50] <Ankur^^> Hi everyone.. I am going through the Fedora wiki on packaging right now It says you should make a new user eg 'makerpm'.. Is that necessary? Can I use my normal non-root user for it?
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [13:51:11] <saurabhb> Ankur^^, you can, as long as it has limited rights...
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [13:53:42] <Ankur^^> Its non-root.. That's sufficient for packaging I guess?
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [13:55:58] <saurabhb> practically yes :)
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [13:57:19] <Ankur^^> saurabhb: Does the use of the word "practically" imply anything??
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [13:57:45] <saurabhb> hehe no
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [13:59:05] <Ankur^^> saurabhb: Okay then.. Means i can go ahead and setup the "rpmdev-setuptree" thing on this user?? Is there a reason why they ask us to make a new user?
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:00:59] <Ankur^^> saurabhb: Im only asking because I'll have to log out and back in if I make that new user for packaging. So if it isn't necessary I thought I could skip the step and use the login I generally use..
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:01:52] <saurabhb> Ankur^^, it is to isolate the dev environment
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:02:11] <saurabhb> if something goes wrong, you cannot end up deleting /home :)
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:02:42] <saurabhb> also, on shared environments, its useful if you have dedicated environments for each of the taks
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:03:03] <Ankur^^> saurabhb: shared environment meaning?
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:03:06] <saurabhb> you possibly dont need to logout, you can just su to that user
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:03:20] <saurabhb> meaning same box used by multiple people or apps
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:03:32] <Ankur^^> saurabhb: I use my private laptop..

[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:04:09] <Ankur^^> saurabhb: I always thought su was only used for root login..(su = superuser)?
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:04:25] <saurabhb> good, then just get a separate user and do all your packaging using that user, in case there are some wrong paths in the scripts, you would not end up deleting any of your files
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:04:50] <saurabhb> nope, you can always use su <user>
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:05:01] <saurabhb> or su - <user>
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:05:08] <saurabhb> it is switch user :)
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:05:24] <Ankur^^> saurabhb: okay.. then I guess I'll make a new user and use that to be on the safer side..
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:05:39] <saurabhb> yup
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:05:45] <Ankur^^> saurabhb: oh.. switch user.. I hadn't thought of that.. :)
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:06:14] <Ankur^^> saurabhb: thank you for helping..
[Tue Jul 29 2008] [14:06:33] <saurabhb> no probs Ankur^^ :)

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:56:17] <sankarshan> keep a ping up on an internal server and you might figure out where you are dropping off
[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:56:32] <saahil> wat do i do of that?
[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:56:38] <mether> prosenji: it is already added as a reference from create package howto iirc
[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:56:55] <mether> ankurs: you need to change that to GPLv2+

[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:57:39] <Ankur^^> mether: downloaded and extracted..
[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:57:40] <ankurs> changing it to GPLv2 solved the license error
[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:58:11] <mether> GPLv2 is a valid tag but it isnt the correct tag for the source code
[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:58:22] <saahil> ok that means the font file i downloaded isn't a true type font, which shudn't make a diff rite?
[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:58:32] <mether> GPLv2 means only the GPLv2 license. GPLv2+ means GPL v2 or later
[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:58:39] <ankurs> mether: ok
[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:58:44] <mether> saahil: it is the "source" of the font
[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:58:55] <mether> you need to compile it to get the actual binary font
[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:59:28] <mether> ankurs: after you change it, you can go ahead and submit it
[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:59:35] <Ankur^^> mether: my extraction has two ttf files.. one for italic too.. and 3 txt files..
[Sun Aug 3 2008] [18:59:40] <saahil> do i compile it right away? or is that what eventually v r going to do here?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [18:56:43] <mether> but in this case, since upstream calls it bpl, thats the name we go with too

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:50:09] <franciscod> mether: everything else is same.. only the name is oldstandard.
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:50:16] <mether> well really
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:50:19] <mether> i need the latest spec
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:50:20] <mether> as it ias
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:50:23] <mether> for me to verify
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:50:29] <mether> i wont get the same output otherwise
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:50:29] <franciscod> mether: okay.. one minute..

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:51:36] <franciscod> mether: here.. the latest one.
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:51:47] <mether> alright
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:52:05] <mether> the fundamental problem is that the upstream tarball
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:52:08] <mether> doesnt create a directory
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:52:34] <franciscod> mether: okay.. so what do we do?
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:53:20] <mether> thats what i am checking
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:54:06] <franciscod> mether: can we package the extracted material into a tar.gz and do it? just asking.. will that be okay?
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:54:13] <mether> debarshi: do you remember the syntax for that
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:54:27] <mether> franciscod: nope. the upstream archive cannot be modified in any way
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:54:38] <franciscod> mether: okay.. anyway.. I ran the rpmbuild..
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:54:44] <franciscod> mether: it gives me this..
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:55:05] <mether> right, i just explained what the error means
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:55:06]   * debarshi is reading

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:55:29] <debarshi> mether: Syntax for what?
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:55:40] <mether> debarshi: upstream archive doesnt create a directory

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:56:27] <mether> yes and I already explained it
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:56:43]   * debarshi clicks

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:57:20] <mether> you are missing parts of the conversation for some reason
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:57:35] <mether> the fundamental problem is that the upstream tarball
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:57:35] <mether>  doesnt create a directory
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:57:35] <mether> <franciscod> mether: okay.. so what do we do?
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:57:35] <mether> <mether> thats what i am checking
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:57:52]   * debarshi checks his own Specs
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:58:05] <franciscod> mether: got that.. okay..I dint understand that as an error.. sorry..
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:59:40] <mether> the usual case is the archive will create a directory with the same name and then extract the files into that
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [19:59:56] <mether> since this zip file doesnt do that, we have to workaround that in the spec file
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:00:07] <mether> the exact syntax escapes me now. I will have to cross check
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:00:25] <franciscod> mether: okay..
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:00:30] <debarshi> '%setup -q -n .' <-- might work
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:00:54] <mether> nah
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:00:55] <debarshi> ... in the %prep stanza.
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:00:56] <mether> it wont
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:00:58] <mether> try it
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:01:08] <debarshi> mether: Can't try here now.
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:01:56] <mether> franciscod: ask in #fedora-devel. I dont remember the syntax
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:02:27] <franciscod> mether: okay..
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:02:51] <mether> its a fairly simple argument
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:03:00] <franciscod> mether: can you give me the exact question to ask?? Theyll understand it better that way..?
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:03:18] <franciscod> mether: I might not be able to explain it very well..
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:03:30] <mether> franciscod: post the fpaste link and ask whats wrong with it. that should be enough
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:03:36] <franciscod> mether: okay..
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:05:31] <franciscod> mether: no replies.. waiting..
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:05:54] <mether> franciscod: it wont be instantaneous . you need patience.
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:06:05] <franciscod> mether: yes.. im waiting.. :)
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:07:39] <mether> btw
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:07:50] <mether> i didnt get a request for approving fedorabugs group
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:07:57] <mether> did you apply to that group yet
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:08:04] <franciscod> mether: I was already there..
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:08:23] <franciscod> mether: I had signed up for bug triaging.. was trying to learn..
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:08:24] <mether> franciscod: then you should be able to login to fedorapeople.org
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:08:33] <mether> with your fedora account name and password
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:08:34] <franciscod> mether: Ill try..
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:10:24] <debarshi> mether: -c
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:10:32] <debarshi> franciscod: Use -c with %setup.
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:10:44] <franciscod> mether: uhm.. the login links not on fedorapeople.org.. is it?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:11:02] <mether> that doesnt work either
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:11:17] <mether> franciscod: i have no idea what that question means
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:11:45] <mether> ah interesting
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:11:51] <mether> it fails with another error
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:11:58] <mether> i sup -c does make it pass that stage
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:12:57] <mether> franciscod: i found the mistake. your install section is wrong
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:13:41] <franciscod> mether: what in it?
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:14:36] <debarshi> mether: %setup -q -c should do.
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:14:49] <debarshi> Or %setup -q -c -n oldstand

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:15:12] <mether> because of -dm
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:15:13] <debarshi> One can specify a name only with -n.
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:15:16] <mether> d there means directory

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:17:22] <franciscod> mether: this way?
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:17:38] <mether> yes
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:17:46] <mether> but you have to modify it

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:18:58] <franciscod> mether: uhm.. give me a minute to think..
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:19:05] <mether> if i have to give you the spec line by line, i am not sure you would have learned anything by the end of the process

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:24:15] <Ankur^^> mether: oh..
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:24:19] <mether> XX should be changed to the actual number
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:24:36] <mether> %{name}-fontconfig.conf should have the prefix in front
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:24:43] <mether> other than that, it seems alright now
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:25:01] <mether> i want you to make sure you understand what each and every line does before you submit the spec/srpm for review however
[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:25:06] <Ankur^^> mether: what would i write in the XX?? the prefix you taught me?

[Mon Aug 4 2008] [20:32:52] <mether> localinstall is merely an alias to install now

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:38:34] <franciscod> mether: i came across "mock" while searching for a way to check the rpm..
[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:38:44] <mether> franciscod: yes
[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:38:55] <franciscod> mether: what is it? even something called "koji"..
[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:38:59] <mether> you dont have any build requirements for your package
[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:39:06] <franciscod> mether: no..
[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:39:17] <mether> usually, software packages depend on other software packages
[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:39:27] <mether> and mock is a way of verifying that
[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:39:51] <franciscod> mether: okay.. so while im packaging fonts i dont need to know that..
[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:39:55] <mether> koji is the Fedora build system which allows building for multiple architectures - x86, ppc etc

[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:44:00] <mether> ok
[Tue Aug 5 2008] [18:45:17] <franciscod> mether: my fedora packager group says status NONE.. i need this approved before submitting a package?
